The Mount proudly welcomes veteran students. We recognize and value the sacrifices you and your family have made to serve selflessly and will make every effort to help make your transition to college as easy as possible. Please reach out to us at anytime with questions about applying the Mount, how to apply your benefits, or the dedicated resources we have to support you while you're here.
We also encourage you to explore the GI Bill Website as you consider applying to Mount St. Mary's University.
Mount St. Mary's participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program which allows eligible veterans and dependents to attend the Mount tuition-free. The Yellow Ribbon Scholarship supplements any Mount scholarship up to $17,500 or the cost of tuition, whichever is less. If the combined value of the two scholarships is less than tuition, the Mount will award additional institutional funds to cover the remainder of the tuition.
To be eligible, a veteran must be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill™ at the 100% rate. Recipients are not eligible to receive any other institutionally-funded need-based grants.
When you're ready to apply, here are a few distinctions to ensure you have the proper forms:
Every semester VA students must be certified to continue to receive monthly benefits. Please fill out the Declaration of Intent form and submit to above address.
** Benefits are only certified for the current semester and do not roll over automatically. **
To avoid delays in processing claims, it is extremely important to submit all information along with any changes in status. When filing a claim, always remember to include the supporting documents listed below.

The Mount’s Division of Continuing Studies honors the tuition assistance benefit for active-duty military students, reducing the tuition costs to $250 per credit hour for eligible students pursuing an accelerated undergraduate or graduate program. Appropriate documentation is required each semester.
We recognize the transition from the military to a college setting can be challenging and we want to be there to support you every step of the way. Here are some resources to help you learn more about the Mount and how to apply your educational benefits:
