The Purple Heart Tuition Waiver provides Purple Heart recipients with a tuition waiver at Utah Tech University. This benefit can be used toward a degree up to and including a Masters Degree. To apply, the Veteran must submit proof that they are a Purple Heart recipient to the Director of Veteran and Military Services at Veterans@utahtech.edu
State Waivers and Tuition Assistance is available through the National Guard. For more information and applications see the National Guard Website.
Utah Tech University is a Yellow Ribbon school. The Yellow Ribbon program is used for non-resident student Veterans that meet the requirement set by the VA listed below.
Example of how it works:
Your non-resident semester tuition & fees = $7,700.00, the in-state tuition and fees rate is $2,400.00. The difference between non-resident and the in-state rate is $5,300.00. UT Yellow ribbon amount will be half of the difference between non-resident tuition and in-state which, in this example, would be $2,650.00 ($5,300/2). In addition to paying the in-state rate of $2,400.00, VA will match UT’s Yellow Ribbon rate of $2,650.00. As a note, any waiver will be deducted from the difference of non-resident and resident tuition prior to the calculation.
The calculation is for demonstration purposes only and are not actual amounts.
See the Veterans Website for more details.
The Veterans Tuition Gap Program (VeT Gap) is a State supplement grant to provide tuition assistance for Veterans in the final year of their first Bachelor’s Degree and whose benefits under the federal program have been exhausted or are not available.
