Yellow Ribbon Program

The University of Rochester is pleased to announce that all qualified, admissible, Post-9/11 veterans of the United States Armed Forces admitted to the University will receive Yellow Ribbon funding.

Yellow Ribbon, in combination with the Post-9/11 GI Bill® and any additional University funding, will cover full tuition for veterans who are eligible for the 100 percent benefit rate.

The University is proud to have no limit to the number of eligible students that can use Yellow Ribbon, helping ensure that those who have served honorably and sacrificed so much for their country face no financial barriers in attaining a higher education.

To be considered for Yellow Ribbon, you must apply for education benefits through the VA and provide proof of education benefits (e.g., statement of benefits from va.gov, certificate of eligibility, or a screenshot from eBenefits) to the University of Rochester. If you’re interested in other forms of financial assistance beyond Veterans Educational Benefits, please reach out to the financial aid contacts for your respective school.
