Hazlewood Act
Under the Hazlewood Act, certain Texas veterans can attend
Texas public colleges and have tuition exempted. To be eligible, the
student must:
- Have been a resident of Texas at the time he or she entered the service
- Have an honorable discharge, or general discharge under honorable conditions
- Must currently be a Texas resident
- Must submit a qualifying benefits letter from the VA Office in Muskogee, Oklahoma (to obtain the letter, call VA Customer Service at 1-888-442-4551)
- Have served at least 181 days of active military duty
- Not be in default on any federal educational loans
Texas state law requires that all veterans requesting assistance under the Hazlewood Act must complete a Hazlewood Exemption Application/Release form that will be used to report and track the amount of benefits that each veteran has used. Veterans are limited to 150 credit hours of exemptions.
