Institutions participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program can contribute up to 50% of the expenses that exceed the base benefit, and the Department of Veterans Affairs will match the amount provided by the institution.</p>\r\n<p>Delaware Law will fund all eligible JD students with an unlimited contribution per student, not to exceed the cost of tuition.</p>\r\n<h5>Eligibility</h5>\r\n<p>The following requirements are for individuals interested in applying for the Yellow Ribbon Program at Delaware Law:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Must be a juris doctor (JD) student</li>\r\n<li>Must provide a copy of your certificate of eligibility approved for the Post 9/11 GI Bill at the rate of 100% with at least 4 months of eligibility remaining</li>\r\n<li>Must not be on active duty at the time of enrollment or a spouse using transferred benefits of active duty personnel.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>There is no minimum number of credit hours required for participation, and awards will continue in subsequent years in which the student maintains satisfactory progress, conduct, and attendance. <strong>Recipients are awarded on a first come, first served basis.</strong></p>\r\n<h5>How does it work?</h5>\r\n<p>For example, combined support from the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon Program for the 2020-2021 academic year is as follows for a regular division JD student (15 credit hours/semester):</p>\r\n<table style=\"height: 0px;\" width=\"90%\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Delaware Law Tuition and Mandatory Fees</td>\r\n<td>$50,310.00</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><br />Less: Delaware Law Merit Based Scholarship (if awarded)</td>\r\n<td>?</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><br />Less: Post 9/11 GI Bill*Mandatory cap for private institutions*</td>\r\n<td>$25,162.14</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Less: Delaware Law Yellow Ribbon Program Grant</td>\r\n<td>$12,573.93</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Less: VA Yellow Ribbon Program Match</td>\r\n<td>$12,573.93</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Remaining Student Obligation</td>\r\n<td>-0-</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n<p>The Yellow Ribbon Program covers tuition and mandatory fees and does not include room and board or books and supplies, which are provided for separately under the Post 9/11 GI Bill.
