What is a Yellow Ribbon Program?

A Yellow Ribbon Program job typically refers to roles that support the Yellow Ribbon Program, a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initiative that helps veterans and their families afford higher education. These jobs may involve processing benefits, advising students on financial aid, or coordinating efforts between schools and the VA. Employees in these roles ensure eligible veterans receive the tuition assistance they're entitled to beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill.
