Yellow Ribbon Program Participant With No Limitations

Williams College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program and does not place limitations on the awards it grants. You must still apply for and be accepted so contact the college. 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 that should result in no out of pocket costs related to tuition and fees.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Williams College awarded a total of $104,466 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 7 veterans for an average award of $14,924 ($29,847 after government matching).
