Daniels College of Business offers eligible veterans unlimited funding
The University of Denver increased its funding for veteran students through the Yellow Ribbon Program. In addition, The University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business offers eligible veterans unlimited Yellow Ribbon funding for those accepted into Daniels graduate programs. The unlimited funding means that the College will provide enough backing to cover tuition and fees each year for these students.
The University, starting in fall 2017, offered a $5,000 match for eligible Post- 9/11 GI Bill undergraduate and graduate students. Universities that participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program make additional funds available for veterans attending an out-of-state or private university. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs matches all contributions made by an institution.
U.S. News & World Report recently ranked DU as 53rd on its list of “Best Colleges for Veterans,” and the University is eager to continue improving services and support for veteran students.
“We value veterans in our student community,” said Sam Nesper, director of Graduate Admissions for Daniels. “Veterans pour their leadership, work ethic, and diverse, global experiences into the classroom, making them top contributors. In turn, we pride ourselves on providing experiences and resources to help them grow within the military or transition into a civilian career.”
Matt Frost (MBA 2018) was an Artillery Officer in the United States Army. He graduated from the Denver MBA program at Daniels. He was the President of the Graduate Business Student Association (GBSA) and was the founding Vice President of Veterans Affairs for the GBSA.
“Veterans are motivated and mobile,” Frost says. “They want to get the best education possible, but private universities seem out of reach. What Daniels is doing with the Yellow Ribbon Program makes getting a high-quality education attainable.”
