Unlock the potential of an affordable education
Post-9/11 GI Bill
The Post-9/11 GI Bill provides financial assistance to America’s military veterans and their families seeking higher education.
The GI Bill can be applied to any of our programs and makes it affordable to get your MBA. Depending on your percentage of eligibility and length of entitlement, the GI Bill can cover all tuition and fees minus any program costs.
We are a Yellow Ribbon school
The Yellow Ribbon program is a provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill that helps defray the cost of out-of-state fees.
The University of Florida will contribute up to $6,500 per academic year towards these fees. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will match the amount of the UF contribution.
Office of Student Veteran Services
The liaison between the University of Florida, its students, and the various federal, state, and local agencies concerned with the processing of VA Educational Benefits.
Specific questions about applying for GI Bill benefits and filing other specific military paperwork, can be addressed by reaching out to UF’s office of veteran services.
