Yale University proudly supports veterans and military-affiliated students in pursuing their academic and professional goals. We honor the service and sacrifice of those who have served and value the leadership, resilience, and unique perspectives that service members bring to our campus, enriching the Yale experience for all. The Yale community remains committed to ensuring that veterans and military-affiliated students have the resources and opportunities to succeed and continue making a profound impact beyond the classroom.
Qualifying veterans may access a range of educational benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), including programs such as the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, Yellow Ribbon Program, and Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment (VR&E). Dependents may also be eligible for VA benefits if they have been transferred by a service member.
Here, you will find comprehensive details on VA educational programs and resources designed to support your academic goals, guidance on bill payment and pending military benefits, answers to frequently asked questions, and key contacts for personalized assistance. Our goal is to offer clarity and support as you manage your benefits.
