<p>Anybody have any experience with CA's disabled vet benefit? According to the CA Vets website, the child of a disabled vet can get tuition and fees waived at Cal State and UC schools. Sounds too good to be true, especially given the state's budget mess of late.</p>
<p>Thanks for any info.</p>
<p>I don’t have experience with the particular benefit, but that sounds about right. The student would need to meet all the criteria in [CalVet</a> | Tuition Fee Waiver for Dependents of Service-Connected Disabled Veterans](<a href=“http://www.calvet.ca.gov/VetServices/CollegeFeeWaiver.aspx]CalVet”>http://www.calvet.ca.gov/VetServices/CollegeFeeWaiver.aspx)</p>
<p>Basically be the child of a disabled or deceased veteran, earn less than 11k per year (as a student, not including parents’ income), prove they are a CA resident and that they are the child of the vet and they should be able to attend any UC, CSU, or CCC that they are admitted to with waived tuition.</p>
