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 Texas Christian 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.
Texas Christian University awarded a total of $3,499,487 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 343 veterans for an average award of $10,203 ($20,405 after government matching).
