Veterans Benefits & Financial Aid

Various Johnson funds ensure that veterans who come to Cornell to obtain an MBA at Johnson receive substantial support.

GI Bill® Assistance (Post 9/11 and Yellow Ribbon)

Cornell University and the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management have an agreement with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a supplement to the Post 9/11 tuition benefit. To determine your eligibility or obtain your COE, visit the VA website. If you have other circumstances that fall outside of the standard Yellow Ribbon Program benefit, please let us know.

Peter and Stephanie Nolan Veterans Scholarship

Cornell Trustee Emeritus Peter Nolan ’80, MBA ’82, and his wife, Stephanie Nolan ’84, have given nearly $2 million to help the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management support U.S. military veterans seeking an MBA. The Nolan Scholarship allows the Admissions & Financial Aid office to identify and reward outstanding Veterans who, we believe, will be an asset to Johnson.

Roy H. Park Leadership Fellows Program

The Johnson Veterans Scholarship

The Johnson Veterans Scholarship is an endowment that is funded by veteran alumni contributions. Alumni veterans of the Johnson give back in many ways including supporting the school financially and enabling it to attract and support veterans that follow.
