Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award.
While Carnegie Mellon University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations
on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.
Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in
a Yellow Ribbon program.
Carnegie Mellon University awarded a total of $341,384
in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year.
This was split among 43 veterans
for an average award of $7,939
