If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While Duke University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.
Duke University awarded a total of $839,323 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 94 veterans for an average award of $8,929 ($17,858 after government matching).
The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Duke University. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
