1,100 Schools Sign New GI Bill "Yellow Ribbon" Pact
The new GI Bill will normally fund tuition up to the level of the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate. The Yellow Ribbon program funds tuition expenses at private schools that exceed that rate. Institutions can contribute up to 50% of those expenses, and VA will match this additional funding for eligible students...The Yellow Ribbon program is reserved for veterans eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill at the 100% benefit level. This includes those who served at least 36 months on active duty or served at least 30 continuous days and were discharged due to a service-related injury...Provisions of the program include payments for tuition and fees, housing, and a books and supplies stipend. Benefits are payable for training pursued on or after August 1, 2009. The tuition and fee benefit is paid directly to the school.
