Anyone who has served 90 days–36 months is eligible for a partial-tuition waiver.
Saint Joseph's University is a participating Yellow Ribbon School. Those that served 89 days—36 months may be eligible to have all or part of their tuition covered between the VA and Saint Joseph's University under the Yellow Ribbon Program.
