Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in California and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits.

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 University of California - Berkeley participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.
