Yellow Ribbon Program
For the 2013-14 academic year, Baylor University will participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program at the 50% rate of net tuition and mandatory fees. Tuition and mandatory fees less the $19,198.31 VA Cap, less any scholarship award that is designated for tuition and mandatory fees, equals net tuition and mandatory fees. Baylor will pay 50% of net tuition and mandatory fees and the federal government will pay the remaining 50%. Tuition and mandatory fees will be covered in full.
