California Veterans Fee Waiver

California veterans and their dependents should contact the County Department of Veteran Affairs closest to their location to find out information regarding application procedures or other related services.  Basic eligibility is attained if the veteran died from a service-connected disability or has a service-connected disability rated by the Veterans Administration at zero percent (0%) or higher.  There are other specific criteria that must be met prior to being deemed eligible, such as the student being a California resident.  Fresno State Veterans' Services may also be contacted for information and guidance pertaining to California Veteran Fee Waiver benefits.

The first step in the application process is to fill out an application for a California Veteran Fee Waiver (DVS40).

Students whose parents are rated less than 100 percent by the Department of Veteran Affairs or who are also receiving Chapter 35 educational benefits, must turn in their previous years tax return or a letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating they were not required to file federal income taxes.

The application for a California Veterans Fee Waiver (DVS40) and IRS letter should be turned into any County Veterans Service Office.
