Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Connecticut and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Connecticut and it has been less than three years since your discharge Eastern Connecticut State University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Veteran Tuition And Fees$11,846
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$11,846
Total In Your Pocket-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.
Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Eastern Connecticut State University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award so check with the college.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Eastern Connecticut State University awarded a total of $18,993 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 3 veterans for an average award of $6,331 ($12,662 after government matching).

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

  • Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?$556 per creditis not below tuition assistance cap
