The Graduate School of Arts & Sciences has increased tuition benefits for veterans and military-connected students, an expansion that will cover the annual cost of full-time tuition for most graduate programs.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, the Graduate School will nearly double its tuition maximums from $10,300 to $20,000 per student annually for those who qualify for programs in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and Biomedical Graduate Education — the school’s largest, single increase to the program to date. The investment underscores the school’s commitment to making graduate education more financially accessible for military-connected students, says Alexander Sens, dean of the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences.
“The Graduate School could not be more excited that we are expanding support to our military-connected students,” says Sens. “Military students are a tremendous asset to our community. We are deeply grateful for their service to our country and the perspectives they bring to the classroom and beyond.”
