QUALIFICATIONS: A student who is a member of the MT National Guard is eligible for a tuition waiver, provided the student:

• Is a bona fide member of the MT National Guard at the start of each semester for which the student is enrolled;
• Is certified as a MT National Guard member in good standing who has completed Initial Entry Training;
• Has applied for and is eligible to receive Montgomery GI Bill - Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR/Chapter 1606) prior to each eligible semester;

• Maintains reasonable academic progress in accordance with the campus’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy used in administering federal financial aid; and
• Has an outstanding tuition balance after applying all other sources of aid (see award calculation example below).

AWARD GUIDELINES: The MT National Guard Tuition Waiver is a last dollar award and is calculated based on the annual tuition rate. ALL federal, RMC Grants and/or Scholarships and private grants and/or scholarships sent to the campus on behalf of the student and the student's expected contribution of the equivalent of the current chapter 1606 monthly benefit, must be deducted from tuition before the waiver can be applied. Waivers will only be applied if there is an outstanding tuition balance after all other sources of aid have been applied (see example below). GI Bill benefits are included in the tuition waiver award calculation.
