Yellow Ribbon program

St. Bonaventure is a Yellow Ribbon school, helping post-9/11 veterans, or their children, attend SBU tuition free through the GI Education Enhancement Programs. The VA program is designed to help students pay for education programs not covered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition benefit.  

Under the program, the difference between the GI Bill tuition benefit and the tuition cost at a private university is split between the college and the Department of Veterans Affairs.  Veterans can transfer benefits to their children.

To be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon program, the service member, reservist/guardsman or veteran must have 100 percent eligibility under the provisions of Chapter 33 (Post 9/11) GI Education Bill, including:
  • having been honorably discharged after serving at least 36 months of active duty after Sept. 10, 2001. (If you served on active duty for less than three years post 9/11, reduced benefits are still available.) 
  • having been honorably discharged from active duty for a service-related disability after serving at least 90 continuous days after Sept. 10, 2001.



Under the Yellow Ribbon Program, the 
Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay you:
  • all resident tuition & fees for a public school.
  • the lower of the actual tuition & fees or the national maximum per academic year for a private school.
