## Yellow Ribbon Program

We’re proud to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program in partnership with the
Department of Veteran Affairs to enhance financial access for military-connected
students.

The Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) is structured to take effect once an eligible
participant has met the Post-9/11 private tuition maximum for the VA year. Once
the Post-9/11 private tuition maximum has been met, the school will contribute
YRP funding up to the remaining balance for the academic year. This amount will
be  matched by the VA up to the limit for each campus. The following Arizona
College of Nursing campuses are currently approved to participate in the YRP:
Aurora, Hartford, Tampa, Tempe, Tucson, Dallas, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas,
Sarasota, Southfield, Phoenix, Ontario, Melbourne, Milwaukee, St. Louis,
Greenville, and Salt Lake City; and the following Arizona College campuses are
currently approved to participate in the YRP: Mesa and Glendale.
