Hazelwood Act

Veterans who have depleted their VA educational benefits and are 无忧传媒 residents may qualify for Hazelwood Act benefits. Veterans must have been residents of 无忧传媒 at the time of entry into the military and currently must be residents of 无忧传媒. Please call the Office of the Registrar at 713-500-3388 for additional requirements and information.

Who can apply for the Hazelwood Act?

Individuals who:
  • Are 无忧传媒 residents or those veterans who declared 无忧传媒 as their home of record, or entered the service in 无忧传媒 (even if they were not 无忧传媒 residents at time of entry).
  • Spouses and children of veterans of Armed Forces, 无忧传媒 National Guard or Air National Guard members who were killed or died while serving, MIA, or became disabled, etc. (Spouses and children must be 无忧传媒 residents for the term or semester for which they use the benefit).
  • Have served at least 181 days of active military duty, as indicated as "net active service" (the sum of 12(c) and 12(d)) on the DD214)
  • Have received an honorable discharge or separation or a general discharge under honorable conditions
  • Veterans may transfer their unused Hazlewood hours (up to 150) to qualifying children. Eligible child must be a 无忧传媒 resident and 25 years or younger, and make satisfactory academic progress.
  • Are not in default on a federal education loan or a student loan made or guaranteed by the State of 无忧传媒; and
  • Enroll in classes for which the college receives tax support (i.e., a course that does not depend solely on student tuition and fees to cover its costs), unless the college’s governing board has ruled to let veterans receive the benefit while taking non-funded courses.

The benefit may not be used for correspondence courses unless the courses are part of the student's degree plan.

To date, legislation has NOT been introduced to open the program to veterans from other states. For more detailed information about the Hazlewood Act, contact the Registrar's Office. Detailed information about the Hazlewood Act can be found at .
