California College Fee Waiver Program

The California College Fee Waiver program benefits the spouse and children of U.S. Veterans. Students meeting the eligibility criteria may get state-mandated university fees waived.

To be eligible, students must:

• Have a parent who is a disabled veteran (0% or more disabled); or
• Have a spouse who is service-connected deceased or rated 100% service-connected disabled.
• Be a child earning less than $11,201 per year (student’s income, not parents’). Note: There is no limit for a spouse or child of service-connected deceased or 100% service-connected disabled.
• Attend a California Community College, California State University, or a University of California school.
• Provide proof of the student's relationship to the veteran such as a copy of birth, marriage or domestic partnership certificate.

To obtain applications, information, and to apply for benefits under this program, contact your local County Veterans Service Office or visit www.cacvso.org.
