Yellow Ribbon Program Participant With No Limitations

able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award that should result in no out of pocket
costs related to tuition and fees.
Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in
a Yellow Ribbon program.

in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year.
