Policy 4-405

The Spouse of Military Veteran Tuition Scholarship recipients will receive a scholarship, in combination with other eligible grant aid, that will cover tuition and student initiated fees (including the Barrett Honors fee). Funding is subject to availability.

This scholarship is designed to be a “last dollar” award that covers the remaining cost of tuition and fees after all other gift aid is received. Awards will be reduced by the amount of any federal aid, scholarships, public grants, and any other financial gifts, grants or aid received. Spouses who are also eligible for the Department of Veteran Affairs Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) may elect to accept those benefits instead of this scholarship, as only one benefit can truly be the last payer.

To gain eligibility students must complete a FAFSA form. You must also submit a marriage certificate and your spouse’s DD214 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty form, via the Additional Documentation link provided in this application.

Contingent on state funding, the scholarship can be renewed for up to 8 total semesters, as long as the following criteria is met:
Student remains classified an AZ resident, for tuition purposes.
Satisfactory Academic Progress is met.
Student completes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year by April 1st of the preceding academic year.
