MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YELLOW RIBBON FUNDS

Yellow Ribbon Funds are available five (5) undergraduate students per year. The maximum Yellow Ribbon funding per student, per year is $1,000. Once the annual funds are exhausted, no more funds will be available until the next academic year. The student is responsible for the charges that are not paid by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Yellow Ribbon Funds are distributed on a first-come, first serve basis. It is based on the order in which students submit all required documents, request yellow ribbon funds, and register for classes. Changes to enrollment, charges or status can affect the amount of Yellow Ribbon Funds distributed on their behalf. Students that have received Yellow Ribbon Funds for two (2) or more semesters are moved to the bottom of the list and will only be able to receive more yellow ribbon funds if they are still available.

Yellow Ribbon is in conjunction with Chapter 33: Post 9/11 GI Bill® VA Educational Benefit.
