Hazelwood Act

Texas veterans no longer entitled to educational benefits under the VA are eligible for assistance under the Hazelwood Act (Texas Education Code 54.203), if they are not eligible for any other federal financial aid.  Hazelwood waives tuition and fees for Texas veterans.  Under the Hazelwood Act, a Texas veteran is one who served 180 days of consecutive active duty, whose DD-214 shows Texas as his/her home of record, and who received an honorable discharge.

The application is available from the Veterans Affairs Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar (College Hall room 150).
