Yellow Ribbon Program for Veterans

Rocky Mountain College is proud to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program.

What is the Yellow Ribbon Program? The Yellow Ribbon Program was established by the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. This program allows colleges in the United States to voluntarily enter into an agreement with VA to fund tuition and fee expenses for qualified veterans. The Post-9/11 GI Bill will pay up to $17,500 for your tuition and fees. Under the Yellow Ribbon agreement RMC will then contribute 50% of the remaining tuition and required fee* expenses and the Department of Veterans Affairs will match that amount. This means your tuition and fees will be paid for. The Department of Veterans Affairs will also pay you a housing allowance of $1,071 per month and up to $1000 for your books and supplies.

You may qualify for the Yellow Ribbon Program benefit if you:

• Served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10,2001, of at least 36 months;
• Were honorably discharged from active duty for a service-connected disability and you served 30 continuous days after September 10,2001; or
• Dependents are eligible for Transfer of Entitlement under the Post-911 1 GI Bill based on an individual's service under the eligibility criteria listed above.

If you are eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program it will replace any other RMC scholarships you may be eligible for because this program gives you so much more. You served your country and now we want to help you get the most financial assistance possible in return.

*Required fees include: Academic Lab fee - $60 per semester, Campus Technology fee - $85 per semester, ASRMC Student Government fee - $65 per semester, and ASRMC Student Publication fee - $15 per semester. Course specific fees are not considered.
