Yellow Ribbon Program
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. If you are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, your Certificate of Eligibility will also advise you if your service meets the requirements for the Yellow Ribbon Program. Waynesburg University is a participant and additional funds may be available for your education under the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Only individuals entitled to the maximum benefit rate (based on service requirements) may receive this funding. Therefore, you may be eligible if:
- You served an aggregate period of active duty after Sept. 10, 2001, of at least 36 months;
- You were honorably discharged from active duty for a service-connected disability and you served 30 continuous days after Sept. 10, 2001;
- You are a dependent eligible for Transfer of Entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® based on a veteran’s service under the eligibility criteria listed above.
