Post-9/11 GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program
St. Norbert College’s long affiliation with the U.S. Armed Forces continues to flourish via the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This education benefit program is for individuals who served on active duty on or after Sept. 11, 2001. Benefits are payable for education pursued on or after August 1, 2009.
How much are Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits?
Based on your length of active duty service, the Post-9/11 GI Bill covers a percentage of the following:
- Cost of tuition and fees, not to exceed the most expensive in-state
undergraduate tuition at a public institution of higher education.
- Monthly housing allowance equal to the basic allowance for housing
payable to a military E-5 with dependents in the same zip code as your
school (paid to you)
- Annual books and supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year (paid to you)
- A one-time payment of $500 paid to certain individuals relocating from highly rural areas
Note: The housing allowance, and books and supplies stipends are not
payable to individuals on active duty. The housing allowance is not
payable to those pursuing education at half-time or less, or to
individuals enrolled in distance learning.

What is the Yellow Ribbon program?
Through the government’s Yellow Ribbon program, veterans who qualify for 100 percent benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill (see chart above) can enjoy a St. Norbert education based on whether the college is the best school for them.
By participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program, St. Norbert College partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs to help cover the difference between tuition and fees at St. Norbert and that cost covered through the Post-9/11 GI Bill alone. Due to the dynamic nature of the program, please refer to the website for the latest details on government benefits.
How long am I eligible for benefits?
Generally, you may receive up to 36 months of entitlement through the Post-9/11 GI Bill. You are eligible for benefits for 15 years from your last period of active duty of at least 90 consecutive days.
Where can I access my military transcripts necessary for my application?
Can I transfer my entitlement to my dependents?
Yes, you can. This benefit is available for your spouse or dependent children only if you are not using the entitlement for your own education. If the veteran was killed in action, the entitlement also may be transferred to a spouse or dependent children.
