Tennessee HB1868 provides tuition waivers for dependent children of fallen law enforcement officers and firefighters.
Tennessee HB1868 amends the state's higher education code to offer tuition waivers for dependent children of law enforcement officers and firefighters who died in the line of duty. Eligible dependent children, under 23 years old, can receive waivers for tuition, maintenance fees, student activity fees, and registration fees at public institutions of higher education. The waiver remains in effect until the child graduates, earns 135 semester hours, or attempts 150 semester hours. Once a child pays tuition and fees, they are not entitled to a refund or credit.
