State Educational Benefits Click on the State below for information about GI Bill Benefits in that State. Connecticut statutes provide that tuition may be waived for qualified veterans attending the University of Connecticut, Connecticut State Universities and the 12 Community Technical Colleges.
Waivers cover only the cost of tuition for credit-bearing undergraduate and graduate programs.
Other charges, such as for books, student activity and course fees, parking and room and board are not waived. The Community Technical Colleges are more flexible. Remember to bring along a copy of your separation papers when applying for admission or registering for courses. How to Qualify To be eligible at any college or university, veterans must be honorably discharged from the U.S. Armed Forces and Connecticut residents at least for one year upon enrolling in college.
