Any person living in West Virginia and receiving education benefits provided under Chapter 30, 31, 35 or Chapter 33 from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs shall be charged in-state tuition and fees to attend a West Virginia public institution of higher education so long as such student is considered a “covered individual” as described in 38 U.S.C. § 3679, as in effect at any time. Additionally, students who received the in-state tuition rate for using their VA education benefits, but exhaust those benefits will remain at the in-state tuition rate per West Virginia law and WVU policy changes.
Members of the National Guard or reserves who are not residents of West Virginia but who are active members of a National Guard or Reserve unit in West Virginia will receive in-state tuition. To process a non-resident WVU student to the in-state tuition rate our office must have a letter on official letterhead from the member's Guard or Reserve unit stating they are an active member in that unit.
