Tuition may be waived for Disabled American Veterans under the following conditions:

• The student must be a resident of the State of Rhode Island and eligible to be assessed instate tuition rates in accordance with the Residency Policy established by the RI Board of Governors for Higher Education. Please attach a copy of a Rhode Island State Issued ID or Driver’s License.
• The student must present recently dated evidence of Veteran status with a minimum 10% disability. Please attach supporting documentation.
• Matriculated students must have a verified Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) on file for the current academic year. The waiver will be reduced by the amount of any grant or scholarship awards received. Waiver applications will be returned or denied if the FAFSA is not completed.
• The student must remit payment for required fees, or demonstrate sufficient financial aid assistance, at the time that this waiver is presented.

Note: Tuition waiver requests will not be processed if forms are incomplete, documentation is missing, or if payment for required fees is not presented. Waivers cannot be used for non-credit courses, program fees, or audit fees.

You will need to upload the following:

• Recently dated evidence of Veteran status with a minimum 10% disability
• Copy of RI Driver’s License or RI State ID
• Completed 2025/2026 FAFSA

I declare that the above information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Payment of Required Fees

Sometimes, waivers are granted for certain classes, but not others. This means a student may still be responsible for part of the tuition and fees even if the waiver is approved. After your request is reviewed, you’ll be informed of any remaining balance if applicable.
