In-State Tuition for Vets

February 11th, 2014 by Mike Vasilinda

Dozens of military veterans turned college students gathered at the state Capitol today. They are asking lawmakers to make college more affordable by allow any veteran with an honorable discharge to pay in state tuition rates. Andrew Sloan says vets can go anywhere with their benefits and Sloan says Florida is at a disadvantage.

 

“Florida is a state that has a lot to offer to vets, ah, It has wonderful job opportunities and great schools, and there is no reason we should put up a barrier to vets who want to come and receive their education and employment here” argues Sloan.

Out of state tuition rates are generally three to four times in state rates.
