Veterans Benefits

Recognizing the sacrifice and courage of our nation’s military veterans, St. John’s is proud to announce our participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Providing Post-9/11 veterans with special financial aid benefits and academic support, this government program makes it easy and affordable for retired military personnel to earn a college degree.

Learn more about the Yellow Ribbon Program at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Or, contact one of St. John’s Veterans Benefit Coordinators below to assist you throughout the admissions and financial aid process.
