Kellogg proudly participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which provides financial assistance to interested students of the armed forces.
In order to qualify for Yellow Ribbon, you must first be 100% eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Please contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to inquire about your eligibility for benefits and request your Certificate of Eligibility.
In addition, you must meet the following criteria:
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA):
Payment for the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (Ch. 30), Montgomery GI Bill-Reserves (Ch. 1606), and REAP (Ch. 1607) will be made directly to you. Contact the VA at 888.442.4551 for information on how payments will be issued.
Payment will be issued after the VA receives and processes your enrollment certification from Northwestern University.
The VA will not provide a payment timeline to Northwestern University. You must contact the GI Bill hotline at 888-GIBILL1 (1-888-442-4551) for information on when payments will be issued.
Please note:
You are responsible for completing any necessary steps as directed by the VA to ensure that Northwestern University receives the Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition payment and the VA’s portion of the Yellow Ribbon payment.
Please refer to your Certificate of Eligibility or call 888.442.4551 to verify that you have completed all necessary steps with the VA.
If you are eligible for VA benefits, please contact:
