The Yellow Ribbon Program: TWU participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program which is a provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill® that can help students attend private schools at little or no cost to themselves. Normally, Post-9/11 GI Bill® payments at private schools are limited to a national maximum amount by law, although that amount changes every year, it seldom covers the full tuition and fees that private schools charge for enrollment.

More information on TN STRONG eligibility can be found at https://www.tn.gov/military/programs-benefits/education-incentives.html.

Helping Heroes Grant: The Helping Heroes Grant is established and funded from the net proceeds of the state lottery and awarded to US veterans who were honorably discharged and who are a former or current member of a reserve or TN National Guard unit.
