[Quote]The warm weather is not the only reason military veterans may decide to head to Florida. The Sunshine State will now waive out-of-state tuition fees for former soldiers, sailors and Marines.

On Monday, Gov. Rick Scott signed the Florida G.I. Bill, creating the Congressman C.W. Bill Young Tuition Waiver Program, which eliminates out-of-state tuition fees for honorably discharged veterans.

“I am pleased to sign this legislation that will help our veterans find employment and expand career opportunities for veterans and their spouses,” the Republican governor said in a press release.[/quote]

Woohoo! I'm moving to Florida for school, and this potentially makes things WAY easier! Out-of-state fees would have more than tripled my tuition costs for the first year!

Also I wasn't aware you are a veteran.

this is pretty smart, increases the number of people who volunteer for the military and also improves people's quality of life

Fort Lauderdale. I'm taking the marine engineering course at Broward. I want to learn about sailboats and yachts and be an ocean hobo when I grow up!
