Connecticut statutes provide that tuition may be waived for qualified veterans attending the University of Connecticut, Connecticut State University and the 12 Community-Technical Colleges.
Waivers cover only the costs of tuition for credit-bearing undergraduate and graduate programs.
The Community-Technical Colleges have no such requirement. The federal government offers educational and training assistance for veterans and their dependents. The Connecticut Department of Veterans' Affairs operates the Veterans' Educational Center which offers certificate, credit and enrichment courses in such fields as computers, nursing and food services. The EEIC can tell you about college courses and schedules, career counseling services and job training opportunities.
