Tuck Increases Support for Military Veterans

By Sandy Belisle, Associate Director of Financial Aid, & Kristin Roth, Associate Director, Admissions Evaluation, Military Liaison

 

Beginning with the 2026-27 academic year, Tuck will contribute up to $30,000 per eligible veteran through the Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP), significantly increasing Tuck’s support for veterans pursuing their MBA at Tuck.  

Combined with the Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit and matching Yellow Ribbon funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), this increased contribution will cover full tuition and reduce remaining program fees for eligible veterans.  

For the 2026-27 academic year, the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides up to $30,908.34 in tuition and mandatory fee benefits at private institutions for individuals who qualify at the 100 percent benefit level. When tuition and eligible fees exceed that amount, the YRP allows participating institutions like Tuck to provide additional funding, which the VA matches. 

At Tuck, that means an eligible veteran may receive: 

• Up to $30,908.34 through the Post-9/11 GI Bill 
• Up to $30,000 in Yellow Ribbon funding from Tuck 
• Up to $30,000 in matching Yellow Ribbon funding from the VA 

Tuck has long participated in the YRP without limitation on the number of veterans who may participate in the YRP at Tuck.  

Veterans are a vibrant and vital part of what makes the Tuck community distinctive among the world’s top MBA programs. This increased investment reflects our commitment to making a Tuck MBA more accessible to those who have served and to supporting veterans throughout their MBA experience. 

If you are considering Tuck, we encourage you to learn more and connect with our community.

Kristin can answer your questions about Tuck, the application process, and the military applicant experience. The Vets Club students are happy to answer questions and share their perspectives on the transition to business school, their experience in the MBA admissions process, life at Tuck, and the veteran community.
