Why is the G.I. Bill® Important?

Veterans Typically Attend Yale University for no More Than $35,319

If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Yale University should not be more than $35,319.

Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Yale University will not be fully covered. Yale University charges $57,700 a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235. In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Yale 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.

Yale University awarded a total of $366,013 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 22 veterans for an average award of $16,637 ($33,274 after government matching).
