Types of assistance at Carey
Carey Business School proudly participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. The Yellow Ribbon Program is a voluntary agreement between Carey and the Department of Veterans Affairs to waive a portion of tuition costs that exceed the national maximum Post 9/11 GI Bill® reimbursement. The Veterans Administration will match the amount of the waiver provided by Carey and contribute that to your tuition.
Carey Business School offers unlimited annual benefits through the Yellow Ribbon Program, with no cap on the number of recipients or the amount of support provided. This ensures that all qualifying veterans receive maximum financial assistance. Please visit the Department of Veteran Affairs for full eligibility guidelines.
Through the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, Veterans Affairs will pay a percentage of a student's net cost for tuition and fees (after the application of any other tuition-specific support) to Carey Business School and disburse any eligible housing and book payments directly to students. The amount of payment is governed by the student’s eligibility as established by the VA.
Please visit the Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management’s website to learn more about the Post-9/11 GI Bill. ®
As a thank you for your service, the $100 nonrefundable application fee is waived for all active duty and veteran applicants. To request the waiver, please contact the admissions recruiter for the program to which you are applying before submitting your application.
Johns Hopkins regularly updates the types of assistance available to active military and veteran students. Stipends, additional military tuition assistance, and MD National Guard opportunities are available for Carey students. External military scholarships are also available through various external organizations, offering scholarships, grants, and loans. Details on each additional type of assistance can be found on the Johns Hopkins Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management’s Veterans Affairs website.

Students must complete the Third-Party Payer agreement each semester in order to request certification. The agreement can be found on the billing tab in your SIS account. Please select VA and the Chapter that you are using for that particular semester. For example, VA Chapter 33. Next, read the student acknowledgment section, check the box to acknowledge, sign, and submit.
Students utilizing VA education benefits must immediately let their school certifying official know of any change in their enrollment status or program that might affect the amount of their payment from the VA. Submit your information to JHU’s Veteran Benefits Inquiry
