Yellow Ribbon Scholarship

Published

Specializes in Junior Year of BSN.

Has anyone received their Yellow Ribbon Scholarship or have used it yet? I'm used to the VA taking awhile to get the ball rolling. I just went to my Veterans Office at school and filled out all the paper work for the Yellow Ribbon Scholarship one of the reasons why I transferred to this school. I spoke to the schools Veteran Representative and she said that my pell grants and other grants that I will receive for school will be sent as a check to me since the scholarship will pay for tuition this year and all fees (about $28K). She also said that I will be getting a $1000 book scholarship this year and that will be sent to me as a check.

Does anyone know when this will happen, is it once classes start or before? I would like to buy books before classes start and not wait until after. I was on the Post 9/11 GI Bill before so this is the first time that I will be under the Yellow Ribbon program. I understand I will get a monthly stipend for housing as I received that with Post 9/11. Any information anyone can provide regarding how this scholarship worked for them would be appreciated. I know it's only a year old and is a little confusing to understand.
