Persons eligible for benefits under the federal Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 or any other federal law authorizing educational benefits for veterans are eligible to pay the resident tuition rate without regard to the length of time they have been in the state, as are their spouses and children (including stepchildren), if they meet the following conditions:

• File a letter of intent with CTC to establish residency in Texas and provide acceptable proof of eligibility for VA education benefits such as a Certificate of Eligibility issued by the Veterans Administration;
• Reside in the state while enrolled in the institution; and
• If qualifying as a child, be 25 years of age or younger on the first day of the term in which the person is registering unless meeting the hardship provisions specified in the legislation.
