The reimbursement program allows students to defer payment until after final grades have been distributed each quarter. For more information, view the Employer Reimbursed Payments section of the Bursar’s Office website.
Veterans Assistance
The Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty (MGIB-AD), Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve (MGIB-SR) and the Post 9/11 GI Bill can all be utilized at Daniels. To determine which option is the best fit for you, visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website.
Daniels College of Business is also a member of the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program), a provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill that allows veterans to attend private schools and graduate programs costing more than the state tuition cap. Under the program, Daniels offers a veterans-only scholarship, which the VA will then match up to the full cost of tuition and fees. To learn more, explore the program’s FAQ page.
