In-state tuition for Selected Reserve GI Bill students at public colleges

Also known as: Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025

Key Points

  • Public colleges must charge in-state tuition to Selected Reserve members who use the Montgomery GI Bill, even if they recently moved.
  • If a public college refuses, the Department of Veterans Affairs will not approve its courses for these education benefits, pressuring the school to comply.
  • The change applies to school terms that start on or after August 1, 2026, giving colleges time to update their rules.
  • Students who stay enrolled without a long break can keep the in-state rate, even if they move or their residency changes.
  • This could save Guard and Reserve students thousands of dollars a year and make it easier to keep school plans on track.
