New Grants Assist Veterans
Topics: Education-Financial AidEducation-Business EducationSociety-WarTwenty-nine MBA students qualified last year for a new Yellow Ribbon grant program designed for U.S. Armed Forces veterans. Under provisions of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, HBS voluntarily provides veterans a $10,000 Yellow Ribbon grant, an amount matched dollar-for-dollar by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
HBS program administrators envision providing up to fifty grants to qualifying veterans each year and hope to generate alumni support to underwrite the costs. John French (MBA ’74), a former Marine pilot who flew F-4 Phantom jets in combat missions in Vietnam, didn’t hesitate. Upon learning of the program, French and his wife, Elaine, established the French Family Yellow Ribbon Program Fund in 2010.
