Through the expanded G. I. Bill, the federal government will fund higher education for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars at a rate equal to the tuition at public institutions within the state where the student is enrolled. In Massachusetts, that amount is less than $6,000.

Suffolk University’s financial commitment to student veterans, combined with the government allowance, will enable eligible veterans to cover the full cost of tuition, fees and books in any of the University’s programs. Yellow Ribbon grants will be made available to veterans enrolling at Suffolk University beginning in August 2009.
