Military Waiver
Eligible students can complete a waiver to receive in district tuition costs. Eligible students are veterans attending NMSU-Alamogordo or military members, guard members, or dependents stationed at Holloman AFB, White Sands Missile Range, or Fort Bliss. You may fill out the Military Tuition Waiver form to receive the in-district tuition rate if you have not established residency.
The form must be submitted in person at the Admissions Office located in the Student Services Building. Showing the military ID (or sponsor’s ID if a dependent) is required for the form to be processed. This will need to be repeated every semester until the student has established residency.
Once a student has lived in New Mexico for 12 consecutive months, they may petition for in state tuition. The process to accomplish this can be found at NMSU’s petition for in state tuition page.
