Applying for the Yellow Ribbon Program
Applying for the Yellow Ribbon Program
The Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) application process consists of two steps: 1) completion of the online application; 2) submission of the Veterans Certification Request.
1. YRP Online Application
Students who are qualifying veterans, or the qualifying dependents of veterans, and are interested in benefiting from the Yellow Ribbon Program must complete the online application. As stipulated by the Post-9/11 GI Bill, eligibility for the Yellow Ribbon Program is determined on a first-come, first-served basis, so it is important to complete the application as early as possible.
Note: Students who received YRP funding in the 2009-2010 academic year do not need to submit the online application; however, in order to receive YRP funding for subsequent semesters, they must submit the Veterans Certification Request, as outlined in Step 2.
2. Veterans Certification Request
In addition to completing the online application, each semester students must complete the Veterans Request for Certification in order to receive VA benefits for that semester.
