Yellow Ribbon Military Benefit

The Yellow Ribbon Military Benefit at Academy College is designed to assist military service members, veterans, and eligible dependents with the cost of higher education. Specifically, the program is open to students who qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill at the 100% payment tier. This institutional benefit helps cover tuition costs that exceed the annual cap established by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Under this agreement, Academy College provides funding to help bridge the gap, and the Department of Veterans Affairs matches the institution's contribution to further reduce the student's out-of-pocket expenses. To access these benefits, students typically coordinate with the college's financial aid office and submit their military eligibility documentation. While federal and state financial aid programs generally require completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to assess overall eligibility for grants and loans, military benefits are processed through specific veteran affairs channels.
