How to Apply
Veteran spouse applicants are required to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for consideration of federal aid, scholarships, and public grants, with this scholarship serving as a "last dollar" award to cover the remaining cost of tuition and fees after all other aid is received.
Spouses who are eligible for the Department of Veteran Affairs Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) may elect to accept those benefits instead of this scholarship, and only one of these can be designated as the final payment source. Funding for this scholarship is dependent on availability.
The residency classification requirements/processes can be found on the residency classification website for students who do not have to complete the residency classification process through their Next Steps Center. Students would first need to complete the Statement of Residency Classification and if additional information is needed, a Domicile Affidavit. There are other residency classification exceptions that might apply after a student completes the SORC/Domicile Affidavit and our residency classification coordinators would work with students to identify those options.
Please visit the Scholarship & Financial Aid webpage for a complete list of scholarship terms and conditions.
