Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $46, Butte College falls below the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$46 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$326 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Butte College to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered
