Yellow Ribbon Program

Yellow Ribbon Program

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The Post-9/11 GI Bill pays up to the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition and fees. The Adler School has voluntarily entered into agreement with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to fund tuition expenses that exceed those already covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Eligibility requirements, set by the VA, are as follows:

• The student is a veteran who served an aggregate period of active duty of at least thirty-six months after September 10, 2001.
• The student is a veteran who was honorably discharged from active duty for a service-connected disability, and they served for thirty continuous days after September 10, 2001.
• The student is a dependent eligible for a transfer of entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill based on a veteran's service under the eligibility criteria listed above.

Students eligible for US veteran's benefits should consult with the Office of Financial Aid. All funds are processed according to Title 38, Sections 1651 and 1701, of the State Approval Agency for Veteran's Education.
