Attend Western Connecticut State University as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $6,814

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Western Connecticut State University by at least $6,814.

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Connecticut and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Connecticut and it has been less than three years since your discharge Western Connecticut State University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

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 Western Connecticut State 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.

Western Connecticut State University awarded a total of $19,550 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 3 veterans for an average award of $6,517 ($13,034 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 Western Connecticut State University. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
