Lasell University has joined the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program and will offer veterans enrolling in the University up to $9,000 in grant money at the undergraduate level, and up to $3,000 at the graduate level annually while they pursue a degree at Lasell.
G.I. Bill ® GI Bill benefits help you pay for college, graduate school, and training programs. Through the Post-9/11 GI Bill ®, the federal government will fund higher education for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars at a rate equal to the tuition at public institutions within the state where the student is enrolled. In Massachusetts, that amount is less than $6,000. To get started and see if you qualify, start here: https://www.va.gov/education/
Yellow Ribbon Grants The Yellow Ribbon Program can help you pay for higher out-of-state, private school, or graduate school tuition that the Post-9/11 GI Bill doesn't cover. If a veteran or dependent of the veteran is eligible for 100% coverage under the Post -911 GI Bill ®, they will be considered a Yellow Ribbon recipient and qualify for funding from the University.
- Veterans enrolling at Lasell can receive up to $9,000 in grant money at the undergraduate level per year
- Veterans enrolling at Lasell can receive up to $3,000 in grant money at the graduate level per year
Private institutions typically cost more than state colleges and universities, and Lasell University has made a commitment to make an education at the University as affordable as possible for veterans or for qualified dependent spouses or children. This funding may be offered in the form of merit scholarship or need based grants from institutional resources. The VA will match up to 50% of the colleges' supplementary grants under the Yellow Ribbon program in addition to the funding from the Post 911 GI Bill ®. For veterans eligible under the Yellow Ribbon program, Lasell University's financial commitment to student veterans, combined with the government allowance, will enable eligible veterans to cover all but approximately $1,400 at the full-time level of tuition and fees at the undergraduate level using grant money that does not need to be repaid. Students attending part time or in the graduate program will have slightly different costs. For more information and to see if you qualify, start here: https://www.va.gov/education/
