HB 1307 -- Tuition Benefits for Combat Veterans

Sponsor:  Day

This bill requires all higher education institutions which
receive state funds to limit the amount charged for tuition to
combat veterans for undergraduate studies to 25% of the current
credit hour rate or $100 per credit hour, whichever is less.  To
qualify, a veteran must have been a Missouri resident when first
entering the military; must have been honorably discharged from
military service; must have served in a combat theater of
operations after September 11, 2001; and must maintain at least a
2.5 grade point average.

Eligibility for the reduced tuition will expire 10 years from the
date of the veteran's discharge.
