The child or spouse of a qualifying veteran gets a full tuition waiver at an Oregon public university or Oregon Health and Science University. The waiver covers the attempted credit hours equal to four years of full-time attendance for a bachelor’s degree, or two years of full-time attendance for a master’s degree. A child over 23 may get an age waiver for a master’s program if they apply within 12 months of finishing a bachelor’s degree.
Contact the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs education benefits team at 503-580-9049 or ebg@odva.oregon.gov, and tell the school you plan to attend that you are claiming the waiver.
The veteran’s discharge paperwork and VA rating, Purple Heart citation or death documentation, and proof of your relationship to the veteran such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate.
