Conduct General Scholarship Searches

Don't limit yourself to veteran-specific scholarships. A general scholarship search can open new avenues for demonstrating your unique value as a student veteran. We offer several DU-oriented scholarships, but we also recommend looking elsewhere to maximize your potential funds.

Yellow Ribbon Funding

The University of Denver is partnered with the Yellow Ribbon Funding Program, which seeks to keep out-of-state colleges and private universities within reach for student veterans whose GI Bill® benefits are already maxed out. Beginning in 2017, the Yellow Ribbon Funding Program increased its fund availability. DU now offers an additional $5,000, which the US Department of Veterans Affairs has agreed to match.
