Did you know that Â鶹ֱ²¥ is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program? The Yellow Ribbon Program is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance
Act of 2008.
This program allows institutions of higher learning to voluntarily enter into an agreement
with Veterans Affairs to fund tuition expenses. The institution can contribute up
to 50 percent of those expenses and Veterans Affairs will match the same amount as
the institution.
The Post- 9/11 GI Bil±ô® is an education benefit for individuals who served on active duty after September
10, 2001.
Montgomery GI Bil±ô® is available to those who enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. Specifically, the program
includes the Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty and the Montgomery GI Bill - Selected
Reserve.
