I saw that according to Texas Education Code Section 54.205,
all those who are blind/deaf are exempted 100% from college tuiton and fees if they lived in Texas for more than a year. Is this true?
In that case, if I were to move to texas to enroll at the University of Texas at Austin, and do a 4 year business school program, even a couple of their international study programs offered abroad, in places like Rotterdam and Thailand, this means that 100% of the tuiton are going to be exempted because I am deaf?
And by deaf, I wear 2 hearing aids, but use lip reading as my communication method, and have been diagnosed as profound bilateral hearing loss. Does that qualufy as deaf, even though I wear hearing aids?
Please chime in if you have experience with the texas tuiton fee exemption.
Thanks all!
