Post 9/11 GI Bill

Yellow Ribbon Program

The University of Richmond will provide a maximum of $5,000 each to up to 25 qualifying students for the 2013–14 school year. This amount will be matched by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA).

Richmond's Yellow Ribbon Program funds will be awarded to qualifying students on a first-come, first-served basis. To be considered, qualifying students must:

  • Be accepted for enrollment to a degree program or be currently enrolled in a degree program at the University of Richmond; and
  • Submit the Certificate of Eligibility provided to them by the VA to the University of Richmond's School Certifying Official (SCO).

Recipients will be selected based upon the date by which both conditions are met. Applications for the 2013–14 school year will not be accepted after January 13, 2014.
