A two part post - one, an announcement for those who don't know, the State of Connecticut offers a complete tuition waiver for veterans who served in combat. I just discovered this, and you better believe I'm jumping on this one. Kris gets a little uppity about her Masters sometimes so I think it's time to even the score.

Veterans' Tuition Waiver: [CGS § 10a-105, CGS § 27-103, P.A 05-03 Sec.18 (3)]
To qualify for the waiver, the veteran must have at least 90 days of active-duty service during time of war, and if National Guard or Reserves units; must have been called up to active duty under Title 10 USC at least for 90 days, or unless the veteran was separated from service earlier because of a service-connected disability or the military operation lasted less than 90 days and he served for the duration.
How do I qualify?- Student must be enrolled to a Degree Program (Undergraduate or Graduate Level)
- Discharged under Honorable conditions from the U.S. Armed Forces.
- Have a domicile in the State of Connecticut at the time of admission.
- Must be a matriculated student.
- Must have served in Time of War at least for 90 Days.
Under current law, eligibility is based on service in or during specified wars, conflicts, or operations, and in some cases, the veteran must have served in a combat or in combat-support role.

Next, a question - I've tried to search for other states who offer the same waiver with little luck. Found a few who are trying to get it. Plenty out there who offer tuition for current NG or Reserves. Anyone know of a complete list of states offering free tuition to war vets?
