Yellow Ribbon Program Participants Announced for 2010-11 Academic Year:

NOTE: Due to the popularity of the program the VA has extended the agreement deadline for 2010-11 participation until July 23. The agreement form and instructions may be found here.

The Yellow Ribbon program is a special component of post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, created to expand educational choices for veterans. It allows institutions with tuition and fee charges in excess of the public, in-state rate to fund all or a portion of the additional charges. Institutional funds are matched 50-50 by the VA.

The VA also has issued a fact sheet regarding the use of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits for study-abroad programs. The fact sheet is available on line.
