Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Unfortunately, it looks like Rockland Community College does not participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you will have to pay some tuition out of pocket unless you qualify for other financial aid.

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