Kern County Veterans Service Dept. - California College Tuition Fee Waiver
Channel: Official Kern County
Date: 2019-08-26

The California College Tuition Fee Waiver is a program provided by the State of California that allows eligible dependents of service connected disabled veterans to attend any State of California Community College, California State University, or University of California campus tuition free. In this video we are going to focus on Plan B, the most commonly used plan for dependent children. If you are a spouse or child of a veteran and unsure whether you qualify, you should contact our office and speak with one of our representatives.

Under plan B, the California College Tuition Fee Waiver allows for the children and step-children of service-connected disabled veterans to attend California colleges and universities tuition free. In order to be eligible:

· the veteran parent must have a disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs

· the student’s income information from the tax year preceding the current academic year will need to be provided, as plan B does have an income limit

· proof of the relationship between the veteran and the student in the form of a birth certificate or other qualifying legal documentation

· and the final requirement is a completed application or DVS40 submitted to our office for processing
