Yellow Ribbon Program

The University of Idaho is a Yellow Ribbon Program school. This means:

• All Idaho resident tuition and fees are paid by the Post 9/11 GI Bill®.
• 100 percent of out-of-state tuition is covered through an agreement between the University of Idaho and the Veterans Administration.
• Around 75 Yellow Ribbon placements are available to students each academic year.
• Placements are granted on a first-come, first-served basis, with currently enrolled students grandfathered into the program. When placements are filled, applicants are placed on a wait-list.
