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 Tufts 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.
Tufts University awarded a total of $62,677 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 13 veterans for an average award of $4,821 ($9,643 after government matching).
