• Post 9/11 New GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon**

*Students are unable to use the ING, IVG, MIA/POW awards at Roosevelt.

**The Yellow Ribbon program is a voluntary agreement between Roosevelt and the VA.  Veterans who are eligible for the Post-911 GI Bill (Chapter 33) at the 100% benefit level are eligible to receive additional funds contributed to their cost of attendance under this program.  The amount that Roosevelt contributes is matched by the VA.  The amount that Roosevelt has agreed to contribute for graduate students is $1,500 per academic year. 

Effective Spring 2013, the amount that Roosevelt has agreed to contribute for undergraduate students is the amount necessary to cover full-time tuition and fees for fall and spring semesters.  Veterans that are eligible to receive Yellow Ribbon funding will not have an out-of-pocket expense for tuition and fees for fall and spring semesters.  Please contact Pete LaHaie, Veterans Admission Counselor, for more details and to discuss how your benefits can be used at Roosevelt. 

Applying for financial aid can assist veterans in closing the financial gap between veteran benefits and cost of attendance. We strongly encourage students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid which is an application for state and federal funding. Roosevelt’s school code is 001749. There are also a variety of private scholarships that veterans may qualify for. Questions about financial aid, check out Financial Aid TV.

There is a time limit for benefit eligibility. To learn more and view eligibility timelines visit the veterans benefits timetable. Students should be aware of their cost of attendance and out-of-pocket expenses. By utilizing the net price calculator you will have a better understanding of your estimated costs.
