Tuition Waivers

Tuition waivers can be granted based on your military/veteran status and eligibility of veteran education benefits. 

Effective for the fall 2025 semester, under the Texas Education Code, Section 54.224 statute: 

“A person enrolled at an institution of higher education is entitled to pay tuition and fees at the rates provided for Texas residents if the person is enrolled and in good standing in a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program.” 

If you are currently classified as a non-Texas resident and meet the criteria above, you may be eligible to pay in-state tuition. To be considered, please submit the ROTC Non-Resident Tuition Waiver Request form. The request form will automatically route through your ROTC chain of command for verification of your ROTC enrollment status and then to the Residency Office for processing and determination.
