The Yellow Ribbon Program at SCU

SCU is a participant in The Yellow Ribbon Program (Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program), a program covered under the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. The provision allows degree-granting institutions in the United States to partner with the VA to underwrite tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate rate. Participation in The Yellow Ribbon Program is voluntary, and institutions can contribute up to 50% of eligible expenses to be matched by the VA. SCU’s level of coverage ensures all tuition for the entire year not already provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill, is covered by them. The voluntary participation underlines SCU’s ongoing commitment to veterans.

New Veteran Initiatives to Be Announced

As SCU continues to find new ways to support veterans in the University community, cutting-edge initiatives are being planned. These exciting opportunities will be announced soon by SCU administration.
