Bill Grants College Tuition Waivers To Vets, Families

Oklahoma's military combat veterans and their families would receive full college tuition waivers under legislation approved by a House subcommittee today.

House Bill 2896, by Rep. Richard Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City, would provide full resident tuition-and-fee waivers to members of the military who have served at least one tour of active duty in a combat zone with any military branch as part of the Global War on Terror. Spouses and children of those veterans would also be covered by the bill, which also provides for reimbursement for housing costs and textbooks.
