Starting Fall 2009 - Chapter 33 Post 9/11 Tuition/Fees benefits/Yellow Ribbon Program!Golden Gate University is proud to announce participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program a Provision under the Post-9/11 GI Bill beginning Fall 2009. Golden Gate University is in the top 15% nationwide of colleges and universities who have committed to a large dollar grant to the Yellow Ribbon Program for our country's Veterans to start or complete their educational goals.Golden Gate University will award a grant up to 50% of tuition costs not to exceed $6586.54 per trimester to eligible Yellow Ribbon Program Veterans. The Veterans Administration will match the other 50% so that an eligible Veteran may incur no tuition costs out of pocket. Example: If Fall 2009 tuition is $10,000 for 10 units, and the Veteran has 100% Post 9/11 benefits, the VA will pay a private independent university like GGU $287 per unit. $10,000 minus $2870 = $7130. Then GGU will award a $3565 grant and the VA will match w $3565 = no cost to the Veteran (example only which is dependent on the Veteran having 100% eligibility on the Yellow Ribbon Program). The Veterans Administration determines the Veterans eligibility and issues a Certificate of Eligibility which must be submitted to GGU by the Veteran. GGU is listed on the VA list: http://www.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/CH33/YRP/states/ca.htm Check it out!Please contact the VA at www.gibill.va.gov or call 1-888-442-4551 for further information on your eligibility.For additional GGU information regarding the Yellow Ribbon Program e-mail sdonnelly@ggu.edu or finaid@ggu.edu or call 415-442-7283 or 415-442-7270 Veterans' BenefitsIf you qualify for benefits for the following Veterans Affairs Educational Assistance Programs you may use those benefits towards your GGU tuition:
