Nazareth expands Yellow Ribbon Program for veterans and dependents
Nazareth is expanding its participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program for veterans and dependents to include Nazareth graduate and certificate students this fall.
Nazareth already provides funding to unlimited eligible students for undergraduate studies.
The Yellow Ribbon Program makes additional funds available to qualifying students on top of the typical Veterans Administration amount. The program provides eligible full-time undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students up to $7,500 per year, matched by the VA.
These amounts together, on top of the typical VA amount, help cover the full yearly cost of a Nazareth education.
Dillon Smith, Nazareth’s Military and Veteran Services coordinator and academic counselor said this is welcome news for veterans and dependents looking to be part of an inclusive and supportive environment as they explore furthering their education.
“The additional funding will be able to assist unlimited qualifying students in graduate studies, certifications and it especially helps our physical therapy students as they complete a long and rigorous program,” Smith said.
