Military Students

Yellow Ribbon

NewSchool has committed to an unlimited number of students in the Yellow Ribbon program and no maximum amount of Yellow Ribbon funds. The Yellow Ribbon program is designed to assist students whose tuition and fee costs exceed the annual Post 9/11 GI Bill®. The VA will match NewSchool’s contribution dollar for dollar per student.

Only veterans entitled to the maximum benefit rate, as determined by service requirements or their designated transferees may receive this funding. Active duty service members and their spouses are not eligible for this program. Child transferees of active duty service members may be eligible if the service member is qualified at the 100% rate.

Veterans Resource Center

The Center serves as a resource to our military students to learn more about VA benefits and services available in our local community. In addition, it allows military students to meet and interact with one another in a supportive space on campus.

Military credit is accepted according to the American Council on Education (ACE) guidelines.

School Certifying
Officials

The school certifying officials (SCO) are a liaison for NewSchool students and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and are located in the Office of Financial Aid. An SCO’s main responsibility is to report student enrollment information — term dates, credit loads, and qualifying costs — to the VA in order for benefit payments to be disbursed.

The SCO can also:

Answer general questions about federal VA Education Benefits
Provide hardcopy VA forms
Assist students with completing VA forms
Submit forms to the VA
Contact the VA on behalf of a student with a specific benefit-related issue

Veteran Liason

NewSchool is honored to be participating in the VA Student Work-Study Allowance Program, which offers an additional allowance to veteran students in return for their performing services in VA-related activities. Veteran students selected for the program will work under the supervision of an SCO as a veteran liaison. The veteran liaison assists in providing general information regarding veteran’s education benefits as well as campus and community services for military students and families.

The liaison may assist students with general inquiries about veteran education benefits via phone, email, and in person. The liaison also organizes events and regular meetings on campus with NewSchool’s military student population and helps maintain and organize veteran-related files. The veteran liaison can be reached at military@newschoolarch.edu.
