Yellow Ribbon:
High Point University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program for students who receive 100% of Post 911 benefits. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is responsible for determining the level of eligibility for the Post 911 Program. Only students who are deemed eligible for 100% of Post 911 will be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program. The Yellow Ribbon Program is only available to undergraduate students.
The Yellow Ribbon Program is a matching program between the institution and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Each institution must establish the level of funding they will provide to which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) matches. At High Point University, we have agreed to provide $4,000 in institutional funding to which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has agreed to match.
The University does not have access to military records and cannot determine eligibility. All eligibility and payment questions should be directed to the Department of Veterans Affairs by calling 1-888-GIBILL-1.
