Virginia Code Title 23.1. Institutions of Higher Education;  Other Educational and Cultural Institutions § 23.1-632. Eligibility;  Selective Service registration

Individuals who have failed to meet the federal requirement to register for the Selective Service are not eligible to receive grants.  However, an individual who has failed to register for the Selective Service shall not be denied a right, privilege, or benefit under this section if (i) the requirement to so register has terminated or become inapplicable to the individual and (ii) the individual shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the failure to register was not a knowing and willful failure to register.  The Council shall be assisted in enforcing this provision by the eligible institutions whose students benefit from the Program.
