Veterans Benefits

Recognizing the sacrifice and courage of our nation’s military veterans, St. John’s is proud to announce our participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Providing Post-9/11 veterans with special financial aid benefits and academic support, this government program makes it easy and affordable for retired military personnel to earn a college degree.
