Financial Assistance for Military Dependents
There are many ways dependents of service members and veterans can receive assistance in paying for college.
Waiver of Tuition for Nebraska Dependents (NDVA)
The Waiver of Tuition for Nebraska Dependents (NDVA) is available for dependents of eligible veterans at Wayne State College, waiving 100% of tuition charges and tuition-related fees.
Visit the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs website to download a copy of the waiver, along with eligibility guidelines and instructions for completing and submitting the application to the NVDA. You will also need to work with WSC to obtain Part VI: Student Credentials of the application. Applicants must meet Nebraska residency requirements and may use the program for one bachelor's degree. This is a benefit administered by the State of Nebraska and is independent of educational benefits administered by the USVA. However, the state waiver program may be combined with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (USVA) Chapter 35, Dependents' Educational Assistance Program (DEA).

Dependent and Survivor Assistance (USVA)
If you’re the child or spouse of a veteran or service member who has died, is captured or missing, or has disabilities, you may be able to get help paying for school or job training through the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA) program, also called Chapter 35.
