Military: Member, Spouse or Child who Remains Continuously Enrolled in Higher Education in Texas

The purpose of this program is to provide a waiver of nonresident tuition for members of the U.S. Armed Forces or commissioned officers in the U.S. Public Health Service, their spouse, or child.

In order to be eligible for this waiver, you must:

• Have been eligible to pay tuition at the resident rate while enrolled in a degree or certificate program at a Texas public college or university in spring 2003 or summer 2003 (or any semester thereafter).
