AUR Yellow Ribbon Scholarship
The Yellow Ribbon tuition waiver helps veterans who have served in the US military. Initially it was intended toÌýactually participateÌýin the Yellow Ribbon Program by the US Veterans Department. However, due to our foreignÌýschoolsÌýstatus we were not eligible to participate. In response to that andÌýin order forÌýus to obtain a ‘Veteran Friendly’ school status AUR has created its own Yellow Ribbon Tuition Waiver for thoseÌýwhomÌýwould have been eligible. This tuition waiver is automatic for all degree-seeking students who are 100% Yellow Ribbon eligible and is applied to the spring semester once benefits are received.Ìý
Be sure to submit yourÌýCertificate of Eligibility from the VA confirming Yellow Ribbon eligibility.
The scholarship is renewable for 4 years or until graduation, depending on what comes first.
