Yellow Ribbon Program

D'Youville is proud to serve our student veterans as a Yellow Ribbon institution by supporting the Post-9/11 GI Bill for veterans.

The Yellow Ribbon Program allows institutions of higher learning such as D'Youville to voluntarily enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to fund tuition expenses and fees that exceed the annual cap established by Congress.

D'Youville will cover the costs of tuition and fees that exceed the $26,381 cap, as a benefit to eligible veteran-students.
