Yes! If you are assessed non-resident tuition at OSU and receive Chapter 33 benefits at the 100% rate, you may be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program. Yellow Ribbon is available to off-set the difference between non-resident and resident tuition only and is not applied to summer term courses or E-campus courses because students are not charged non-resident tuition for these courses. For more information, please visit the United States Department of Veterans Affairs Yellow Ribbon webpage.
To apply to receive the Yellow Ribbon benefit, you will need to email [email protected] to verify your eligibility. OSU has agreed to award $3,000.00 per academic year to undergraduate students and $4500.00 per academic year to graduate students. The VA will provide matching funds.
In some cases, nonresident students may benefit more from certain tuition programs instead of using the Yellow Ribbon program.
