Law

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.
