    leaders.

implementation of the program shall be developed in coordination with 
the senior military colleges.
    (d) Recommendations for Admission of Students Under the Program.--
The Secretary of Defense shall annually identify to the senior military 
colleges the international students who, based on criteria established 
by the Secretary, the Secretary recommends be considered for admission 
under the program. The Secretary shall identify the recommended 
international students to the senior military colleges as early as 
possible each year to enable those colleges to consider them in a timely 
manner in their respective admissions processes.
    (e) DOD Financial Support.--An international student who is admitted 
to a senior military college under the program under this section is 
responsible for the cost of instruction at that college. The Secretary
