NYS tuition for qualifying out-of-state veterans
Jamestown Community College offers qualifying veterans, active duty military, and reservists who live outside of New York state the in-state tuition rate. JCC also offers in-state tuition to dependents of qualifying veterans, under the Veterans’ Access to Care through Choice, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2014 (Choice Act).
The Fry Scholarship has also been expanded to include the surviving spouses of service members who died in the line of duty after September 10, 2001. Previously, the Fry Scholarship, honoring Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry, served children. Effective January 1, 2015, spouses and children are entitled to 36 months of full benefits, equal to 100% of the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, which includes tuition and fee payments, a monthly housing allowance, and a stipend for books and supplies.
