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 not approved to participate in the YRP: Arlington, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Chesapeake, and Falls Church. ![Arizona Department of Veterans Services logo](https://arizonacollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ADVS_color_logo_250x250_transparent-1.webp) Arizona Department of Veterans Services (AZDVS)  [https://dvs.az.gov](https://dvs.az.gov/) VA Education Benefits Application:  [https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/](https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/) GI Bill® Official Site\*:  [https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill](https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill) \* _GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
