Yellow Ribbon Program


UCF is a proud supporter of the Yellow Ribbon Program.

For those who are eligible and apply, UCF will contribute 50% of the amount of out-of-state tuition and fees for a total of 30 eligible undergraduate dependents of student veterans and a total of 10 eligible graduate dependents of student veterans the VA will match that amount.

Please note that in most cases, utilizing the Out Of State waiver (above) may be a better financial option unless the applicant is not living in the state of Florida while attending UCF.

The Yellow Ribbon Program payment is paid directly to the school on behalf of the student when UCF processes the student’s certification.

Only individuals at the 100% benefits level (or dependents using transferred entitlement) may receive Yellow Ribbon funding.

The following are NOT eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Program:

  • Active Duty Personnel
  • Spouses of Active Duty personnel using Transferred Entitlement
  • Fry Scholarship recipients
