Yellow Ribbon

Marymount University is proud to offer substantial financial assistance to all military, veteran, and dependent students that join our community.

Marymount’s current Yellow Ribbon Agreement allows for 120 undergraduate students, 20 graduate, and 0 doctoral students.

Undergraduate Students

All military service members, veterans, and dependents with 100% eligibility under the Chapter 33 Post-9/11 GI Bill will be automatically enrolled in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Marymount University does not impose a cap on the Yellow Ribbon Award, and all undergraduate students with 100% eligibility for Chapter 33 benefits are eligible for this program. The award ensures that tuition and fees are fully covered while completing undergraduate studies using Chapter 33 benefits.

Each semester, students must verify their enrollment with the Military & Veteran Services representative to ensure their documentation is updated with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Yellow Ribbon Program applies once a student reaches the funding cap set by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for the academic year. For the 2025-2026 Academic Year, the cap is $29,920.95, with the rate for the following year to be announced at the end of July. 

Tuition assistance will be available for anyone using the Montgomery GI Bill, for those students with less than 100% coverage from the Post 9/11 GI Bill, and for anyone that may run out of military benefits while working toward undergraduate degree completion.

No matter what chapter of benefits is being used to assist with financing your education, all military, veteran, and dependent students should submit the FAFSA on an annual basis.

Graduate Students

There are a limited number of Yellow Ribbon Awards designated for graduate students (excluding doctoral programs). To apply for a Yellow Ribbon Award, please contact the Military & Veteran Services office. To apply for a Yellow Ribbon Award, please complete the Yellow Ribbon Application.
