Veteran Dependents 100% Tuition Waiver for dependents of deceased, disabled, missing in action or prisoner of war veterans

Eligibility:  A child or surviving spouse of an eligible veteran or national guard member who 1) became totally disabled as defined in RCW 28B.15.385; or 2) who lost his/her life while engaged in active federal military or naval service; or 3) who is determined by the federal government to be a prisoner of war or missing in action.

Qualifying Criteria:  The student must be domiciled in the state of Washington in order to qualify for the waiver.

Documentation:  To determine eligibility, the student must provide a letter (Certificate of Eligibility) from the Department of Veterans Affairs authorizing dependents benefits.  This is addressed to the dependent student and usually:
                
                States the date the veteran became totally disabled for VA purposes;
                
                States the date of the VA letter informing the veteran of VA's decision that he or she
                is permanently and totally disabled due to service-connected disabilities;
                
                Instructs dependent students to choose their beginning date of eligibility as either
                one of those dates or any date between those two dates

A Certificate of Eligibility may also be issued in a different format than above, but would provide simliar information.

Please provide the Certificate of Eligibility to the Veterans' Services Office at your early convenience.  Should OC require any further documentation to determine eligibility we will let students know.
