Yellow Ribbon Program
The Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University is a proud Yellow Ribbon Program participant. Veterans must have 100 percent Post 9/11 GI Bill eligibility; active duty service members, and their spouses using transferred entitlement, may participate in the Yellow Ribbon program. Once an individual student’s eligibility is determined by the VA certifying official at Carnegie Mellon, the Tepper School of Business Financial Aid Office determines the amount of Yellow Ribbon eligibility.
The Tepper School’s level of participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program currently covers the gap in GI Bill funding for a private institution and tuition for all Tepper School Masters programs. For payment rate information, visit the United States Department of Veteran Affairs website. This amount may vary annually as it needs to be approved each year by the Tepper School and the VA.
Additional information about Veterans’ benefits can be found on The HUB and the CMU Veterans & Military Community site.
