| Felician
College will limit academic residency to
twenty-five percent or less of the degree
requirement for all degrees for active-duty
servicemembers and their adult family members
(spouse and college-age children). In
addition, there are no "final year" or "final
semester" residency requirements for active-duty
servicemembers and their family members.
Academic residency can be completed at any time
while active-duty servicemembers and their
family members are enrolled. Reservist
and national Guardsmen on active-duty are covered in the same manner. |

not exceed the cost of attendance. |

| Fully Participating
Yellow Ribbon Institution |
| |
The Post-911 G.I. bill provides
veterans a tuition benefit equal to the highest
in-state tuition rate at public institutions (please
visit the VA
website for rates). If a veteran meets certain
requirements, they are eligible for the
Yellow Ribbon Program, and will receive additional
benefits to help meet the tuition rates of participating
private institutions. Felician College, as a Yellow
Ribbon Participating Institution, has chosen to
offer the highest possible contribution rate of
50%, with a matching contribution from the VA, and
does not limit the number of veterans who can attend
Felician under the Yellow Ribbon program. This means
that veterans can attend Felician for no out-of-pocket
cost if they meet the following criteria:
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Served an aggregate period of active duty after September 10, 2001, of at least 36 months;
|
|
| |
|
|
Were honorably discharged from
active duty for a service connected disability
and they served 30 continuous days after
September 10, 2001;
|
| |
|
|
Are a dependent eligible for Transfer of Entitlement under the Post-9/11 GI Bill based on a veteran's service under the eligibility criteria listed above. |
