Bill > SB00572

This bill would require the Board of Regents for Higher Education and the Board of Trustees of The University of Connecticut to provide tuition waivers for dependent children of veterans who have been rated as 100% disabled due to a service-connected disability by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. By waiving tuition at public higher education institutions, the bill aims to support the families of veterans who have sustained significant disabilities during their military service. The tuition waiver would apply to dependent children of these permanently disabled veterans, helping to reduce the financial burden of pursuing higher education for these family members. This type of legislation is designed to recognize and support the sacrifices made by service members who have been severely injured while serving their country by providing educational opportunities for their children at no cost to the family.
