You can have your tuition waived at a Rhode Island public institution of higher learning if you are a permanent Rhode Island resident with a service-connected disability rating of 10 percent or higher. The waiver covers tuition only, not required fees or books, and any scholarships or grants you qualify for are applied to tuition first, which reduces the waiver amount.
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid first, then contact the financial aid office of the Rhode Island public institution you plan to attend to apply.
