State of Washington Tuition Reduction for Veterans Who Served Active Duty, Their Children and Spouse

 

As a veteran, you may be eligible for a partial tuition waiver (50% in-state tuition rate) if you are an undergraduate pursuing your first bachelor's degree with no more than 225 credits; or if you are a graduate/professional student pursuing your first graduate/professional degree at the University of Washington. (Waivers will not be awarded to students participating in fee-based courses or programs.)

 

You may be eligible to receive a waiver of all tuition and fees (100% in-state tuition rate) up to 200 college-level credits if your parent or spouse was an eligible veteran or national guard member who 1) became totally disabled as defined in RCW 28B.15.385; or 2) who lost his or her life while engaged in active federal military or naval services; or 3) who is determined by the federal government to be a prisoner of war or missing in action.

 

Students sign up for the State of Washington tuition reduction in the Office of Business Services and Veterans' Affairs, 520 Schmitz Hall, after their registration is final.  Sign up is required for the academic year.
