Rider’s degree programs are approved under the Veterans Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966, as amended. An application for VA Education and Training benefits is available online at www.vets.gov or www.benefits.va.gov/gibill/ .

Veterans who receive Chapter 33 Post 9/11 G.I. Bill®1 benefits may be eligible for Rider’s Yellow Ribbon Program.

Students filing for benefits at Rider will be responsible for filing a copy of their separation papers (DD214) and/or their Certificate of Eligibility (COE) with the appropriate school certifying official. Contact the Registrar’s Office certifying official at 609-896-5066 or the Dr. Eugene Marsh Center for Veterans and Military Affairs at 609-896-5000 ext. 7382 with questions.
