Yale University is demonstrating its commitment to the men and women who have served in the US armed forces by partnering with the US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) in its “Yellow Ribbon” scholarship program. Aspiring students who have served in the army, post-911 will be eligible for one of fifty scholarships provided by Yale of up to $5,000 per year, which Veterans Affairs will subsequently match dollar-for-dollar. The Yellow Ribbon program applies to all schools within Yale, even the SOM.
