Several area colleges are accepting applications for the Yellow Ribbon program, a new initiative designed to help U.S. veterans pay for college, books and fees.
The Yellow Ribbon program is part of the new Post 9/11 GI Bill — known as Chapter 33.
Under the program, colleges and universities agree to pay, for eligible students, part of the tuition and fees that are not covered under Chapter 33. The amount the college covers is matched by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
