Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s are participants in the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (Chapter 33) and the Yellow Ribbon Program. We are a 50% Yellow Ribbon Program participant. This means that if you are 100% eligible and have received the national maximum tuition and fees through the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) during the academic year, the VA and CSB and SJU will cover the remainder of your tuition and fees through the Yellow Ribbon Program for that academic year. The VA will cover half of your tuition and fees and CSB and SJU will cover the other half. GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
The CSB and SJU portion will be covered through your institutional merit scholarship or grant which will be reallocated to accommodate the benefit and renamed “CSB and SJU Yellow Ribbon Match”.
