At Emory University, veterans and their families are a valued and vital part of our community. The Yellow Ribbon Program partners with the VA to fund tuition expenses that exceed the annual VA tuition and fees benefit. Emory University has partnered with the Department of Veteran Affairs to fund tuition expenses that exceed the highest public in-state undergraduate tuition rate.

The Emory Law Volunteer Clinic for Veterans assists those who have served our country with the legal issues that they face, including claims for service-connected disability. 

We have students from all branches of the military, ranging in age from early 30s to mid-70s. They work for large universities, the Department of Defense, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, The Carter Center, and hospital systems, among others. Some students are retired military, pursuing second careers helping veterans. One such student is retired USMC Colonel Eddie Ray, who said of the program, “I am in the JM program to add skills and education to my military experience so that I might influence US national security and foreign policy.”
