Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by University of the Pacific 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

It appears as though University of the Pacific participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. 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 so check with the college.

University of the Pacific awarded a total of $96,863 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 13 veterans for an average award of $7,451 ($14,902 after government matching).
