A student planning to participate in a postsecondary training or education program must apply for financial aid by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The results of that application will indicate a student's Expected Family Contribution and financial aid from other sources. Once those have been applied, DRS may contribute toward tuition, books, and supplies, but not exceeding the student’s unmet need. The maximum amount DRS will pay for tuition training costs will not exceed the current baccalaureate tuition rate at the highest in-state public institution of higher education.
