Yellow Ribbon and Military & Veteran Tuition Rate

A Pacific Oaks education is shaped by the collective voices and experiences of you and those around you. We value your military experience as an integral part of our collaborative learning community, educating the Pacific Oaks community on the importance of dedicating your life to service for your country.

Yellow Ribbon Program

Pacific Oaks is proud to be a Yellow Ribbon school and it is a privilege for us to provide support for those who serve. Only post-9/11 veterans (or spouse/dependents under Transfer of Entitlement) at the 100% benefit level qualify. There is no cap to the annual funding you can use, and no limit to how many members of the military, their spouse/dependents, or veterans can participate.
Please note: Active duty members and spouse/dependents thereof are not eligible for this program, but may take advantage of our Military and Veteran Tuition Rate. Please see below.
