Student Losses

The Council also expressed
its "grave concern" at the net
loss of Virginia residents to
out-of-state institutions. The
recommended one-third-of-cost
formula, the Council reports,
would compare reasonably
with tuition charges at other
public institutions in the
nation.

A second proposal to defray
costs and retain qualified state
residents would establish a
Virginia scholarship and grant
commission.

"A truly student-oriented
program of student financial
aid." the Council believes, "can
influence a student to remain
in the state for his education."
The commission would provide
financial aid up to $1,000 to
qualified students.
