Veteran's Benefits

If you're a veteran — or a dependent of a veteran — your VA benefits can cover the cost of a private education at Texas 野狼社区. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers education benefits that can help you pursue your education. To see if you’re eligible, visit the .

Depending on your military training experience, you could be eligible for class credit. And when you graduate, you’ll be recognized for your service with honor cords and a service pin. In case, you don’t already know, Texas 野狼社区 was named a Military Friendly School in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.

 

What is the Yellow Ribbon Program?

The Yellow Ribbon Program is a partnership between Texas 野狼社区 University and Department of Veteran's Affairs to supplement the tuition benefits of the Post 9/11 Veteran's Educational Assistance Program of 2008 (Chapter 33).

This program allows our institution to enter into a voluntary agreement with the VA to contribute funds to a veteran's unmet tuition and fees when they have exceeded the amount payable under Chapter 33. The program allows Texas 野狼社区 to contribute an amount up to 50% of the veteran's unmet costs where the VA will match the amount.

To apply for any VA benefits at Texas 野狼社区 University, you should contact the Office of Financial Aid at 817-531-4420.

Keep in mind, Veteran benefit programs cannot be combined with merit scholarships from the University.
