The thread about free college reminded me of this and I just wanted to put it into writing in case anyone's kids are going to college in the near future.If you or your spouse are a veteran, AND you enlisted with Texas as your home state, AND you moved back to Texas after your enlistment was done, the state of Texas will pay your child's tuition to a PUBLIC Texas college. It's called the Hazelwood Act and the colleges have a person who will let you know what you need to do to get it.  4951

@QueenB: I have never heard of this but will definitely research it. That is our situation exactly and we will be facing college bills in a few years. Every earned college benefit helps.

@Donnatella Yes, it's the Hazlewood Legacy Act.  We're using it for our college student on my military service.  If I remember correctly, it covers tuition for up to 160 hrs. Edited:  Sorry, 150 hrs. 4951

My friend uses it for her son. I think there is a limit to how many kids can use it.
 
I wish my hubby qualified but he enlisted in Louisiana.

I've never seen anything that says how many dependents can use the benefit. I've only read that any hours unused by one child can be transferred to another dependent child. That's what we'll be doing as our current college student won't be utilizing all 150 hours, so we'll have some available for the next one who will be starting in 2016. 4951

We worked many extra hours to to put our sons through college. It was many years later that we learned they could have used it. A bit sickening at the time. Oh well, we are still blessed. 4951
