Free tuition could be available for Michigan veterans
‘A proposed bill in the state House could provide Michigan residents with a little bit more incentive to serve their country. The legislation, titled “Veterans Tuition Waiver Act,” would grant free tuition for certain qualified veterans of the U.S. armed forces. If passed, beginning in the 2008-2009 academic year, an eligible institution that agrees to participate in the program would waive tuition for veterans who enroll as full-time students in undergraduate classes. The veterans must be U.S. citizens, younger than 60 years old and Michigan residents for at least 12 months.’
