Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Unfortunately, it looks like Golden West College does not participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you will have to pay some tuition out of pocket unless you qualify for other financial aid.
