Any person adjudicated, convicted, or the subject of a suspended imposition of sentence for possession, use, or distribution of controlled substances or marijuana as defined in chapter 22-42 under circumstances which would constitute a felony under South Dakota law is ineligible for any scholarship for attendance at a postsecondary institution to the extent such scholarship is funded by the State of South Dakota. Upon receiving a request from the chief administrator of the postsecondary educational institution, the Unified Judicial System shall send notice of whether the person who is the subject of the request was adjudicated in a juvenile proceeding of possessing, using, or distributing controlled substances or marijuana as defined in chapter 22-42 under circumstances which would constitute a felony under South Dakota law if that person were an adult.
