Virginia Colleges Deny Grants Over 'Too Religious' Degree Choices
If this is your mountain
- Contact your state legislator or higher-education board to ask whether similar 'sectarian' exclusions exist in your state's tuition grant or scholarship programs.
- If you are a Christian college student or parent in Virginia, review VTAG eligibility rules directly with your institution's financial aid office.
- Follow the Johnson v. Fleming petition and any Supreme Court cert decision, since a ruling could affect religious-liberty precedent nationwide.
- Pastors and chaplains-in-training should document any state or military funding denials tied to religious degree content for legal counsel review.
