Veteran Programs
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is not required to receive veteran’s benefits or for the Yellow Ribbon program. However, as a veteran you may also apply for other forms of financial aid like loans.
If you are a recipient of Veteran's Benefits, you are responsible for submitting any enrollment verification documents required by the VA to Loyola's Office of the Registrar.
You are required to notify the Office of Financial Aid of the amount and type of veteran's benefits that you will receive while enrolled at Loyola. These benefits must be coordinated with other federal, state, and university aid that you may be eligible to receive.
VA Educational Benefits (VEB) must be coordinated with other financial aid awards according to federal, state and institutional policy. Students receiving VEB (including Yellow Ribbon funds) cannot receive funds designated for tuition/fees only that exceed the actual amount of tuition and mandatory fees for the University.
- Calculate your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits using the GI Bill Comparison Tool.
- You may also find more information on types of Veteran Benefits at www.gibill.va.gov.
For more information, please contact Loyola's Office of the Registrar at (213) 736-1130 or registrar@lls.edu.
Yellow Ribbon Program
LMU Loyola Law School fully participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. When combined with 100% Post-9/11 GI Bill® eligibility, Loyola and the VA jointly covers 100% of tuition and mandatory fees for up to 10 eligible veterans and military personnel.
To participate, you must be 100% eligible for Chapter 33 benefits and submit a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to the law school’s designated School Certifying Official (SCO). Because entry into the program is limited and granted on a strict first-come, first-served basis, we recommend submitting your paperwork as early as possible.
LLS students can submit the required document here: Certificate of Eligibility.
