I found out MiraCosta College offers an LVN to RN program, and I'm pretty interested. Does anyone know if they give any military discounts on their residency requirements?
MiraCosta College does have provisions to assist military personnel. Many colleges and universities, including MiraCosta College, follow the 'Choice Act', a federal law enacted to provide veteran students and their eligible dependents in-state tuition status.
This law, also referred to as Section 702 of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014, requires public colleges and universities to offer in-state tuition rates to qualified veterans and their dependents, no matter their official state of residence.
If you're eligible under the Choice Act, you would be considered a resident for tuition purposes. So, while it's not a specific "military discount," it does allow for veterans and their dependents to avoid paying high out-of-state tuition.
That said, qualification requirements can vary, so it's a good idea to get in touch with the Veteran Services Office or Admissions at MiraCosta College to get specifics on their policies. They'll be able to provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date guidance.
