California College Fee Waiver Program
Under the California Education Code, dependents of veterans whose death or disability was service-connected may be eligible for exemption from many College or University fees. Applications and information are available at the Veterans' Office, located in the Student Services building at the San Marcos campus or from your county Veterans' Services Office.

Please note that in tough economic times, education programs in California are some of the first to get cut or cancelled. With that in mind, check the official Cal Vet web page at http://www.cdva.ca.gov/service/feewaiver.asp
for possible updates of the form and/or restrictions.

1. Fill out the Cal Vet Fee Waiver form and send it in to the County Veterans Service Office (see address below). You should do this once a year, usually after taxes are done on April 15th.
2. Once you receive your award letter from that office, take it immediately to the Palomar College Financial Aid Office. You will be required to:
   a.  Attach your award letter to a completed Board of Governor's Fee Waiver form.
   b.  Attach a copy of your birth certificate
   c.  Attach your CA 540 tax return.
3. Failure to follow these instructions in a timely manner will invalidate your award.
