The Yellow Ribbon Program

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a benefit for military veterans and their families that helps reduce the cost of higher education. It works with colleges and the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover tuition costs that exceed the standard VA education benefits. Schools voluntarily participate in the program, which allows eligible students to receive additional financial assistance, making college more affordable. This program is especially useful for students attending private or graduate schools where tuition can be very high. Ultimately, it aims to support veterans in achieving their educational goals without the burden of excessive college costs.
