Yellow Ribbon Application


The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows institutions of higher learning (degree granting institutions) in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. The institution can contribute up to 50% of those expenses and VA will match the same amount as the institution.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays up to the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition and fees. You may have tuition and fees that exceed that amount if you are attending a private institution, graduate school or attending in an out-of-state status. If you are enrolled at a Yellow Ribbon participating institution and the tuition and fees exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition or fees, additional funds may be available for your education program without an additional charge to your entitlement.


IF YOU ARE STILL ACTIVE DUTY, THIS INCLUDES TERMINAL LEAVE; YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR YELLOW RIBBON FOR THAT SEMESTER. THIS MEANS EVEN 1 DAY INTO THE SEMESTER UNDER ACTIVE DUTY. VA WILL NOT PRO RATE YELLOW RIBBON.
