Which states provide free college tuition for military dependents?

Hello! I'm a military dependent and I'm starting to look into college options. Are there any states that provide free college tuition for dependents of military personnel? If yes, could you list them out? Thanks!

Absolutely, there are indeed several states which offer tuition assistance or even complete waivers for dependents of military personnel. Here's a general list:

1. Illinois: The Illinois Military Family Relief Fund offers scholarships to dependent children.

2. Texas: The Hazlewood Act provides up to 150 hours of tuition exemption at public colleges and universities in Texas for military dependents whose parent died in the line of duty or is an eligible veteran.

3. Florida: The Scholarships for Children and Spouses of Deceased or Disabled Veterans Program provides awards for dependent children and un-remarried spouses of Florida veterans who died as a result of service-connected injuries.

4. Virginia: The Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program provides eligible participants with a waiver of all tuition and fees at any public institution of higher education in Virginia.

5. Indiana: Military family relief fund scholarship program provides tuition and fee assistance for eligible spouses or dependent children of military personnel.

These are only a few examples and the exact details can change, so it's good to check in and verify with any given program or college directly. Also, it's worth noting that many schools have specific scholarships for dependents of military personnel and veterans, so it'd be beneficial to look into those as well. In addition to state-wide tuition benefits, don't forget about the Federal GI Bill which can also be transferred to dependents under certain circumstances. Always check the fine print to understand the eligibility requirements and reach out to the college's Veterans Affairs department for more personalized guidance. Happy college hunting!
