Yellow Ribbon Program Schools in Illinois
The Post 9/11 GI Bill covers 100% of in-state tuition and fees for a public college or university (undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral). For veterans attending a private college or university, the Post 9/11 GI Bill may not cover the total cost of tuition and fees. The Yellow Ribbon Program can offset this additional cost if the school chooses to participate in the program.
