Hi I would like to know the process to apply for the Yellow Ribbon Program at Wharton and what are the basic guidelines of this program?

The Yellow Ribbon Program (YRB) is a procurement of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008. Wharton offers stipend stores through the Yellow Ribbon Program for veterans and is focused on financing up to 50 understudies who are 100% qualified under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Understudies may get a most extreme Yellow Ribbon Award of up to $10,000. The Dept. of Veteran Affairs (VA) will coordinate the honor sum conceded by Wharton. On the off chance that you are qualified for the Yellow Ribbon Program, you should present the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE), demonstrating Yellow Ribbon qualification, to:

March 15 to May 15, 2016 is the open season for the Yellow Ribbon Program for the 2016-17 scholarly years. Schools may apply for starting cooperation, adjust existing open-finished assertions, make no move and keep on honoring the terms of existing open-finished understandings, or pull back from the Yellow Ribbon Program.

This system permits foundations of higher learning (degree allowing organizations) in the United States to willfully go into a concurrence with VA to store educational cost costs that surpass either the yearly most extreme top for private establishments or the inhabitant educational cost and expenses for an open foundation. The establishment can contribute up to half of those costs and VA will coordinate the same sum as the foundation.

The Institution of Higher Learning (IHL) must consent to:

Give commitments to qualified people who apply for the Yellow Ribbon Program on a first-start things out served premise, paying little heed to the rate at which the individual is seeking after preparing in any given scholarly year;

Give commitments amid the present scholastic year and all resulting scholarly years in which the IHL is partaking in the Yellow Ribbon Program and the understudy keeps up palatable advancement, behaviours, and participation;

Make commitments toward the project for the person as an award, grant, and so forth;

State the dollar sum that will be contributed for every member amid the scholarly year;

State the greatest number of people for whom commitments will be made in any given scholarly year.

Accessible Benefits and Eligibility

Just Veterans qualified for the most extreme advantage rate, as dictated by administration prerequisites, or their assigned transferees may get this financing. Dynamic obligation Servicemembers and their life partners are not qualified for this project. Youngster transferees of dynamic obligation Servicemembers might be qualified if the Servicemember is qualified at the 100 percent rate.
