Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though University of South Alabama 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.

University of South Alabama awarded a total of $28,071 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 11 veterans for an average award of $2,552 ($5,104 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?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $329, University of South Alabama falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$329 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$658 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with University of South Alabama to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what University of South Alabama thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $1,630. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses	$14,390

A MHA of $1,595 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.
