What this benefit is

A tuition waiver at state schools for surviving dependants of servicemembers killed in action on or after 11 September 2001.

What it's worth: Tuition waived at state schools

  • The department describes a tuition waiver at state schools for surviving dependants of servicemembers killed in action on or after 11 September 2001.
  • Nothing is said about fees, books or housing, so those should be assumed to remain payable.
  • Rates differ by institution, so no dollar figure is claimed.

Who is entitled to it

  • The waiver runs to the surviving dependants.
  • Your home is in Utah.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

Deadline: Set by the institution
  1. 1Check the date. The waiver as described applies to a servicemember killed in action on or after 11 September 2001.
  2. 2Take the documents establishing both the death in action and the dependency relationship; the institution decides on those.
  3. 3Ask the institution what it treats as tuition. The waiver is described as a tuition waiver, and mandatory fees are not named.
  4. 4Ask about resident status. Waivers of this kind commonly require the student to be classified as a resident student, though nothing read this session states it here.
  5. 5Ask the state veterans department if an institution is unfamiliar with the waiver — it is named for a person, and campuses do not always recognise the name.

Known gapThe statute has not been read, so nothing is claimed here about who counts as a dependant, whether a spouse who remarries keeps the waiver, or whether the waiver covers graduate study.

Sources

Why only one source type: Read from the state veterans department’s own education page. The Code section behind the waiver could not be read — the Legislature’s own publication refused every connection this session.
