Veterans Affairs Benefits
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 $6900 (effective fall 2010) 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 2010 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 $391.75 per unit. $10,000 minus $3917.50 = $6083. Then GGU will award a $3041.50 grant and the VA will match w $3041.50 = no cost to the Veteran (example only which is dependent on the Veteran having 100% eligibility on the Yellow Ribbon Program).GGU tuition discounts and/or scholarships are applied towards a portion of tuition costs only and may not be on top of the Post 9/11 and Yellow Ribbon. Students may not receive GGU tuition discounts and/or GGU scholarships on top of the 100% tuition coverage by the Post 9/11 and Yellow Ribbon benefits. 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 GI Bill Web site as a Yellow Ribbon Program participant for the 2010-2011 academic year. Check it out!Please contact the VA via the GI Bill Web site: www.gibill.va.gov or call 1-888-442-4551 for further information on your eligibility.For additional information regarding GGU's participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, contact GGU's VA Certifying Officer at 415-442-7283 or va@ggu.edu.
