The Yellow Ribbon Program is a GI Education Enhancement Program that provides an agreement between Vanguard University and the Veterans Administration (VA) to award scholarships to qualified students to fund tuition and mandatory fees that exceed benefits under the Post 9/11 (Chapter 33) benefit. Under this agreement the VA will match Vanguard University's contribution. Vanguard University will contribute 50% of your tuition and mandatory fees that exceed benefits under the Post 9/11 benefit.**
