The GI Bill covers tuition and mandatory fees, up to the highest in-state undergraduate tuition at a public university in the state. With the Yellow Ribbon program, an approved school will contribute half of the amount needed above what the GI Bill covers, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will match the school’s contribution. "In this way, the Yellow Ribbon program may cover the vet’s entire tuition," says William Parshall, executive director of Temple’s Center City and Ambler campuses. "This is a great opportunity for vets to get some additional financial help."
