RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:
6A-10.0451Tuition and Fee Waivers for Disabled Veterans
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: In 2022, House Bill (HB) 45 created section 295.011, Florida Statutes, to establish a fee waiver for disabled veterans who are enrolled in a postsecondary program and receive educational assistance under the GI Bill, but who do not qualify for the 100 percent eligibility tier federally. Beginning in 2022-23, these students are eligible to receive a waiver in the amount that is the difference between the portion of tuition and fees authorized under federal law and the full amount of tuition and fees charged by the institution attended. The bill established a requirement that institutions report the number and value of all fee waivers granted under the program. HB 45 required the State Board of Education to adopt rules to implement the new waiver.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Tuition and fee waivers for disabled veterans at school district career centers, charter technical career centers, and Florida College System institutions.
