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 Harvard 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.
Harvard University awarded a total of $1,917,753 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 177 veterans for an average award of $10,835 ($21,670 after government matching).
