Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025

# Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserves Tuition Fairness Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Does** This law requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to reject educational programs at schools that charge out-of-state tuition rates to veterans using Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve benefits, even when those veterans actually live in the state where the school is located. In other words, if a veteran is physically present and living in a state, schools can no longer charge them the higher out-of-state rate while they're using these specific military education benefits. **Who It Affects** The law directly benefits members of the military reserves who use Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserve education benefits to pay for college or training programs. It also affects colleges and universities that previously could charge out-of-state tuition under these circumstances.

The goal is to save these veterans money by ensuring they pay in-state tuition rates when attending schools in their home state. **Current Status** This bill was signed into law in 2025, so it is now in effect. It addresses a fairness concern where reserve members using these education benefits were being charged higher tuition rates despite living in-state, and requires schools to offer in-state pricing or risk losing VA approval for their programs.
