Removes the Civil War and World War I as periods of hostilities for which a county may award a scholarship. Adds any time during the siege of Beirut and the Grenada Conflict between June 14, 1982 and December 15, 1983 as a period of hostility for which a county may award a scholarship. Provides that if a scholarship is not awarded for a given period of hostilities listed in the Section because there are no qualified applicants, then the county may award the scholarship for another one of the listed periods of hostilities, in which case there may be more than one scholarship awarded for the same period of hostilities. Effective July 1, 2015.
