HB 3920 Raised the dependent tuition waiver age from 23 to 31

Needs reviewEnactedScope changed

Signed

Expands benefits Raises the dependent tuition waiver age from 23 to 31 and eases the master's waiver.

Also allows a master's waiver whether or not the student ever received a bachelor's waiver, removes the requirement to apply within 12 months of finishing the bachelor's, and allows a master's waiver on proof of eligibility for federal Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. Some Oregon public university pages still state the 23-year limit. A child between 24 and 31 who was told they are too old should ask the institution to check chapter 100.
