RULE:

Tuition and Fee Waivers for Disabled Veterans

PURPOSE:

In 2022, House Bill (HB) 45 created section 295.011, Florida Statutes (F.S.), to establish a fee waiver for disabled veterans who are enrolled in a postsecondary program and receive educational assistance under the GI Bill, but who do not qualify for the 100 percent eligibility tier federally. Beginning in 2022-23, these students are eligible to receive a waiver in the amount that is the difference between the portion of tuition and fees authorized under federal law and the full amount of tuition and fees charged by the institution attended. The purpose and effect of the proposed rule is to set forth the documentation needed to establish eligibility for the waiver, to provide notice of who and where information about the waivers must be provided to the Florida Department of Education, and to provide notice about limits on eligibility for the waiver.

SUMMARY:

Tuition and fee waivers for disabled veterans at school district career centers, charter technical career centers, and Florida College System institutions.
