Which colleges offer significant military scholarships?

Hello everyone! I'm exploring my options for college and the military has always interested me. I was wondering, does anyone know which colleges offer the most generous scholarships for students joining the military? Thank you in advance!

Sure, there are a number of colleges in the United States that offer scholarships for military service members, veterans, and dependents. Remember, the scholarships available will often depend on the specifics of the military service (such as branch, service length, etc.), and whether the applicant is a service member, veteran, or dependent. Here are a few colleges that are known to provide significant financial support for military-connected students.

1. The University of Southern California (USC): USC offers the Yellow Ribbon Program that provides additional financial assistance beyond the educational benefits offered by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. USC's contribution is unlimited and matches an unlimited contribution from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

2. George Washington University (GW): Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, GW offers scholarships to veterans who qualify for the maximum benefit rate under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. They also have the GW VALOR Cohort Program, which offers additional financial and academic support to veterans.

3. Columbia University: Columbia has also partnered with the Yellow Ribbon Program and offers an unlimited contribution match with the VA, providing significant financial support to eligible veterans.

4. Stanford University: The Stanford Yellow Ribbon Program offers significant funding to veterans both at the undergraduate and graduate level. They offer an unlimited contribution match with the VA.

Keep in mind, most U.S. colleges accept the GI Bill, but the colleges referenced above provide additional support to make education more accessible and affordable for those who have served in the military. It's always a good idea to check with the financial aid office at the colleges you're considering to see what other resources they may have for military-connected students. Hope this information helps!
