Prospective Students

Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program


The International Business School at Brandeis University will participate in the Post-9/11 GI Bill Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) for the 2011-12 academic year. This award is a supplement to Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits and signifies the University’s commitment to support veterans who are pursuing higher education. For general information about the program from the Veteran’s Administration, go to http://www.gibill.va.gov/School_Info/yellow_ribbon/index.htm.

The maximum award is $14,806 per academic year with another $14,806 match from the YRP for a total of $29,612 YRP scholarship.

The YRP scholarship (including the VA match), combined with Brandeis scholarships, federal aid and other estimated financial assistance, cannot exceed the cost of attendance and Brandeis gift aid may be adjusted. YRP recipients must remain in good academic standing while receiving the award. Recipients will be eligible to receive the award in subsequent years, provided that Brandeis remains a participant in the YRP.
