We are a Yellow Ribbon college, supporting the Post-9/11 GI2 Bill® for veterans. This enables us to make additional funds available for your college education without an additional charge to your GI Bill® entitlement.
You will be eligible for full tuition benefits if:
- You have served at least three years after September 11, 2001
- You were honorably discharged
- If you served on active duty less than three years, reduced benefits are still available
Tip: Complete the online FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as possible after January 1 to be considered for the widest range of financial assistance. Our college code is 002151.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government Web site at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Veterans Benefit Recipients
In some instances, it may be permissible for a student to receive VA Educational Benefits that when combined with other financial aid exceeds the total financial need. However, Franklin Cummings Tech encourages students to limit their educational borrowing to no more than absolutely necessary. Educational loans must be repaid. Our Financial Aid advisors are trained to help military service members apply for aid with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For personalized information and counseling, service members are encouraged to contact the Veterans Services Coordinator at 617-588-1344 or jklasen@franklincummings.edu.
Federal Financial Aid
Your Federal Financial Aid (Pell grant, Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Direct Loans) will not be reduced due to your receipt of Veterans’ Benefits. Your Franklin Cummings Tech scholarships could be affected by your receipt of Veterans’ Benefits. Your receipt of a college need-based scholarship and any combination of outside scholarships, and veterans’ educational benefits may not exceed institutionally demonstrated financial need. A reduction of need-based financial aid will be required only if the total amounts received from these sources exceed the student’s calculated financial need. Regardless of the type of VA benefit received or whether that benefit results from the student’s military service, or the military service of their parent, the impact on the student’s financial aid is the same.
