Yellow Ribbon
Champlain College is committed to assisting military service members and veterans in achieving their educational goals. The Yellow Ribbon Scholarship provides a significant tuition waiver for veterans and their dependents above and beyond the funds provided through the GI Bill. The Yellow Ribbon scholarship covers the full cost of a Champlain College education for qualifying veterans and their dependents, minus contributions from the Veteran Affairs through the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
In addition to tuition assistance, Champlain provides eligible veterans with credit for their training and life experiences. We also offer programs that are relevant to members of the Armed Forces including computer forensics, criminal justice, communication and media and business. Our faculty and staff are ready and willing to help veterans succeed and are appreciative of the service and perspective these service members and veterans bring to the classroom.
In 2022, 20 students received $137,116 in Yellow Ribbon scholarship support.
