Yellow Ribbon Program

If you are receiving the Post-9/11 GI Bill® at the 100% rate, you may be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program. Under the program, if your tuition exceeds the national tuition cap for a private institution of higher learning as posted by the Veterans Administration (VA), additional funds may be available for your education program without an additional charge to your entitlement (VA criteria must be met).

Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox does not have an application form for the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you are eligible, you will be identified internally and evaluated by the VA certifying official. Funds will then be posted directly to your student account through the financial aid process. Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox does not have a cap on the number of students that may be awarded Yellow Ribbon. Once awarded Yellow Ribbon, the VA will provide matching funds.
