10 U.S.C. § 2111b: Senior military colleges…

Summary

The Secretary of Defense must set up a program to help people from other countries enroll at senior military colleges. The program should offer a military-style, low-cost education that supports the Department of Defense’s military-to-military work and gives U.S. cadets more time with future foreign military leaders. The Secretary will make the program rules with the colleges and will each year recommend which international students to consider, as early as possible. Admitted students must pay tuition, but the DoD may pay some or all of the cost from funds other than those for aid under section 2107a.
