Adams State University established the Minuteman Scholars program to support those who serve our country.
Utilizing the Chapter 1606 (Montgomery GI Bill Selected Reserve) benefits, any Reserve National Guard or Active Ready Reserve member of the US Armed Forces, who have a high school diploma or GED, are eligible for the guaranteed admission, in-state tuition, and a housing pledge.
According to Vice President for Student Affairs Savala DeVoge the new initiative was developed to provide educational support and housing to eligible service members. “Those who serve in the military worked for their benefits and now their benefits work for them.”
The Minuteman Scholars program provides a housing pledge at Adams State as well as admission and tuition rate support. “Then Adams State will match the cost of on-campus housing to the amount on the service members GI Bill,” DeVoge added.
As long as the service member maintains residency in Colorado, while attending Adams State they are guaranteed in-state tuition, regardless of their residency upon admission.
The cost of housing in traditional-style residence halls will be discounted for a double room to match the total amount of full-time 1606 benefits. Single rooms or other housing types will incur extra expenses. Costs for tuition, fees, meal plan, and other costs are the responsibility of the student.
