Yellow Ribbon Program
Beginning in the fall of 2009, Quinnipiac University will be a participant in the "Yellow Ribbon Program" which is a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Eligible veterans who are admitted and enroll in an approved major can qualify for tuition benefits up to the level charged by the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate in Connecticut. In addition, eligible veterans can also receive benefits toward the remaining amount of tuition through a matching program where the VA office contributes up to 50% of the difference and Quinnipiac University voluntarily matches this amount through its grant and scholarship programs, not to exceed $10,000 annually.

Veterans should apply for these benefits through their VA Office and notify the financial aid, bursar and registrar offices of their pending application so their financial aid may be coordinated accordingly. The Office of the Registrar handles all VA paperwork for the university and all certification paperwork should be directed to the "Veterans Coordinator" in the registrar's office.

All Yellow Ribbon beneficiaries will be allowed to carry an account balance without penalty if they have received approval from the registrar, financial aid and bursar offices. For further information on veteran's benefits, students can contact the VA Office or Connecticut State Department of Higher Education.
