In recognition of the service and sacrifices of Oregon military service veterans and their families the college provides the following tuition waivers:

The purpose of this waiver is to allow an Oregon veteran the opportunity to earn their first associateÁs degree. Therefore, the waiver is offered for up to 100 credits or a degree (which ever comes first). The waiver does not cover books, fees or other expenses.
Adequate documentation must be provided including proof of a soldierÁs service that indicates Oregon permanent residency at time of discharge (DD Form 214).
Financial aid awards may be reduced by the use of this waiver. Continuation of tuition waiver benefits is subject to satisfactory academic progress.
