Tuition Benefit for Out of State Veterans
Veterans who reside outside New York State are eligible for in-state tuition benefits. This applies to any student who enrolled after Spring 2015 with an other than dishonorable discharge. This benefit includes both Reservists and National Guard. Students must prove veteran status with a U.S. Department of Defense Form DD214 or a Certificate of Eligibility from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Family members eligible for educational assistance under the federal GI bills are also entitled to the in-state tuition. To prove status the dependent/spouse must provide a certificate of eligibility. Service members and their family stationed in New York on full-time active duty are also eligible for the in-state tuition rate.
