The University of New Haven is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program — a provision of the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010. Unlike many other schools, the University is proud to offer this opportunity to all students who are eligible with no maximum to the number of students who can receive this benefit. To qualify, you must be 100% eligible for the Post 9/11 GI Bill®. If eligible, there is nothing additional that needs to be done to apply for the Yellow Ribbon Program benefit.
At the University of New Haven, we provide the solid foundation of knowledge and skills you need to succeed at any career path you choose.
We are home to over 300 military/student veterans and dependents, as well as nearly 100 ROTC cadets. So, no matter what your program or schedule, you’re sure to run into a fellow Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine.

You should apply for your benefits at the same time you submit your application to the University. To apply for your benefits, go to www.va.gov and complete the required documents under the Education Benefits section. Once completed, you will receive a document from the VA called your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) which will state which benefits you qualify for and the length of time you have to use them.
The parent/spouse will need to request their benefits by going to www.va.gov and completing the required documents under the Education Benefits section. Once the benefits have been applied for and transferred accordingly, you will receive a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for the dependent/ spouse outlining the benefits they are eligible for and the length of time they have to use them.
20% tuition discount if benefits are exhausted while currently enrolled at the University. Any questions, please contact Bursar@newhaven.edu.
Students who are receiving benefits as a dependent of a veteran are NOT eligible for this discount.
The Veteran Emergency Loan Fund was established by the University of New Haven to provide temporary assistance to student veterans experiencing an acute and unexpected short-term hardship, for example, a delay in payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It is funded with donations made by University of New Haven Alumni, Faculty, Staff and Community Members.
We are a university with a very large and active veteran community that helps its brothers and sisters make the transition from soldier to student and onward.
The University of New Haven is a great place for veterans because of our strength in numbers.
I would like future veterans to know that this can be a true place to call home.
