Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Yellow Ribbon Scholarship Application
The Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (YRP) is a provision of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational
Assistance Act of 2008.
Only individuals entitled to the maximum benefit rate (based on service requirements) may receive this funding.
Therefore, you may be eligible if:
• You served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10, 2001, of at least 36 months;
• You were honorable discharged from active duty for a service connected disability and served 30 continuous days after
September 10, 2001;
• You are a dependent eligible for Transfer of Entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® based on a veteran’s service under the
eligibility criteria listed above.
The VA will determine eligibility for the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, and issue a Certificate of Eligibility. The Certificate of Eligibility
will advise you if your service meets the requirements for the Yellow Ribbon Program. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University has volunteered to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Therefore, you must bring/send this application,
the Certificate of Eligibility, and a request to certify enrollment to your campus Veterans’ Program Administrator.
Post-9/11 GI Bill® Benefits are payable for training pursued on or after August 1, 2009. Yellow Ribbon Scholarships are
payable for enrollment periods beginning on or after August 1, 2009. The amount of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University Yellow Ribbon Scholarship will be equal to 50% of the unmet tuition for each enrollment period, not to exceed
the annual award. You will be notified of the annual award for each academic year.
EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIVERSITY agrees to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program under the Post-9/11
GI Bill® (authorized under title V of Public Law 110-252) subject to the terms, conditions, and representations provided in
the YRP Agreement and applicable VA regulations.
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University agrees to provide contributions to eligible individuals who apply for the Yellow Ribbon
Program on a first-come first-serve basis, regardless of the rate at which the individual is pursuing training (i.e., full-time versus
less than full-time), during the academic year.
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University agrees to provide contributions on behalf of a participating individual during the current
academic year and all subsequent academic years in which Embry-Riddle participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, provided
that the individual maintains satisfactory progress, conduct, and attendance according to the regularly prescribed standards of
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University agrees to limit contributions made on behalf of a participant to funds under the restricted
control of Embry-Riddle (e.g., a scholarship sent directly to Embry-Riddle on behalf of an individual or specific group of
individuals from a third party may not be included in Yellow Ribbon Program contributions). Funds received directly or
indirectly from Federal sources may not be counted toward contributions.
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University agrees to provide the maximum amount of contributions payable toward the unmet
established tuition charges to each participating individual during each semester/term the individual is enrolled; if Embry-
Riddle’s total contribution towards the individual’s unmet established tuition charges for the semester/term do not exceed the
maximum dollar amount payable during the academic year.
• If you are a Yellow Ribbon veteran or recipient of its benefits, awards will be adjusted to reflect Embry-Riddle’s
commitment to funding that program. Funding will not exceed the cost of tuition and fees in total benefits.
This is to acknowledge that I am applying for the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Yellow Ribbon Scholarship.
