What is it?
The Cal Vet Fee Waiver is a California state program that waives all "system wide Mandatory" fees for dependents of veterans that have a service-connected disability.
Who is eligible?
Dependents of veterans with a V.A. disability rating are generally eligible. Income may be used to determine eligibility of children. If income is a factor for eligibility, the income from the previous year is considered for the academic year of application. There is not an age limit for most children. Eligibility must be determined every year.
How does it work?
Apply for eligibility at any county veteran service office throughout the state. After the county has established eligibility, they will mail a letter of eligibility to the student and the Butte College Office of Veterans Services.
What if you already paid fees?
Students may request a refund of appropriate fees by contacting the Butte College Business Office.
Can you use this waiver at other schools?
This program can be used at any California Community College, CSU or U.C. Since fee structures vary between schools, please contact the school in question.
Who to contact:
