Financial Aid for Veterans

Embry-Riddle degree programs are approved by the appropriate State Department of Veterans Affairs (State Approving Agency) for enrollment of persons eligible to receive education benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).

Yellow Ribbon Program

The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (YRP) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Only individuals entitled to the maximum benefit rate (based on service requirements) may receive this funding. Therefore, you may be eligible if:

• You served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10, 2001 of at least 36 months
• You were honorably discharged from active duty for a service connected disability and served 30 continuous days after September 10, 2001
• You are a dependent eligible for Transfer of Entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill based on a veteran's service under the eligibility criteria listed above.

The VA will determine eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and issue a Certificate of Eligibility. The Certificate of Eligibility will advise you if your service meets the requirements for the Yellow Ribbon Program. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has volunteered to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Therefore, you must present the Yellow Ribbon Scholarship application, the Certificate of Eligibility and a request to certify enrollment to the Prescott Campus Veterans' Affairs contact
