Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by The College of Westchester will not be fully covered.

In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

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 The College of Westchester participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

The College of Westchester awarded a total of $12,080 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 5 veterans for an average award of $2,416 ($4,832 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 The College of Westchester. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
