Ramapo College

Website dedicated to services for student veterans.

Degrees & Certificates offered.

This institution is a Yellow Ribbon Program Participant. The proportion of tuition & fee costs and number of vets to be served: Since the state of NJ already offers the in-state tuition rate to all veterans regardless of where they live and the GI Bill will pay up to the full tuition for each semester (provided the veteran qualifies for those benefits) at the college, Ramapo's tuition program is largely equivalent to the Yellow Ribbon Program. Further, the additional supports that the College offers, which lead to its ranking as a Gold Status Military Friendly College, demonstrate its support is equivalent to or even exceeds what is required to be offered in the Yellow Ribbon program.
