Military Benefits & ROTC

Types of Aid for Military & Veterans

There are many types of financial assistance available to military personnel and veterans. This is a brief outline of some of your options. Once you have applied for enrollment at Saint Francis University, we suggest that you set up an appointment to meet with our coordinator of military affairs for VA and financial counseling.

ROTC Scholarships

Reserved Officer's Training Corp Scholarships are available for Saint Francis University students through the U.S. Army. Learn more about the Military Affairs at Saint Francis.

Yellow Ribbon 

Institutions that voluntarily enter into a Yellow Ribbon Agreement with VA choose the amount of tuition and fees that will be contributed. VA will match that amount and issue payment directly to the institution. Saint Francis is proud to announce that we will be contributing 50 % towards the Yellow Ribbon program: the maximum allotment permitted. Learn more about the yellow ribbon program  by calling our Military Affairs coordinator:
