William & Mary Proudly Welcomes Active Duty Students & Veterans

Located in Williamsburg, Virginia, William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business is at the heart of one of the most military-dense regions in the United States. Because of this, we are uniquely positioned to understand and support the invaluable contributions that active duty service members and military veterans can make to our university community. That's why we strive to offer programs that are conveniently accessible online, along with a host of additional accommodations to support the educational goals of our servicemen and women in all branches of our military.

The Yellow Ribbon program is designed to close the gap between the cost of your program and the in-state tuition rate covered by the GI Bill. You may be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon program if you are an out-of-state student who also qualifies 100 percent through the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

Additionally, active duty service members and veterans who are accepted into and enroll in our Online MBA program may be eligible for the Kyle J. Milliken Memorial Scholarship.
