“These programs may aid veterans as they navigate their education after leaving the military,” Wei said.
• Yellow Ribbon: A scholarship program that allows approved institutions of higher learning and the VA to partially or fully fund tuition and fee expenses that exceed the established thresholds under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
• Service to School: A program that provides free application counseling to military veterans.
• Warrior Scholars: A transition program consisting of a series of highly intensive, totally immersive, one and two-week college-preparatory academic boot camps hosted at America’s top colleges and universities.
