Hey people, I'm a prospective student at ASU and I'm wondering if anyone here knows whether ASU is a part of the Yellow Ribbon Program? As a military kid, this would greatly help with my college costs. Please let me know if you have any info on ASU's involvement in this program.
Yes, Arizona State University (ASU) participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. The Yellow Ribbon Program is a voluntary agreement between the VA and the university that helps cover the remaining tuition and fee costs for veterans and their dependents who are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
ASU's participation in the program means that they agree to contribute a specified dollar amount towards your tuition and fees, and the VA matches that amount. This funding is in addition to the standard Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, helping to further reduce or eliminate any out-of-pocket tuition and fees expenses.
It's important to note that not all students are eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program. To be eligible, you have to be a veteran or a dependent who is entitled to the maximum benefit rate of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you should definitely take advantage of this program at ASU to assist with your college costs.
If you decide to apply to ASU, make sure to reach out to their Veterans Services Office to get more information about the Yellow Ribbon Program and any additional resources they offer to military-connected students. They can assist you with navigating the application process and making sure you're utilizing all available benefits.
