Is UCLA a GI Bill®-approved school?

Yes, UCLA is a GI Bill®-approved school. However, you must check with the school to ensure that the GI Bill® covers your preferred degree program.

Is UCLA a Yellow Ribbon school?

Yes, UCLA is a Yellow Ribbon school.  However, the only degree level where Yellow Ribbon funding is offered is for a Juris Doctorate.  Only 10 are awarded each year.

Despite not providing Yellow Ribbon funding outside of their Juris Doctorate,  as a state school, many of the costs of attendance would be covered by the GI Bill, particularly undergraduate studies.  This only applies if you have GI Bill eligibility remaining.  You should check with the Department of Veteran Affairs on your remaining GI Bill eligibility.  

Eligible military and veteran students pursuing a Juris Doctorate may have up to 100% of their tuition covered, with zero tuition costs out-of-pocket. You will need to check with the school to ensure that your preferred degree program is 100% covered by the Yellow Ribbon.

Does UCLA offer Yellow Ribbon for master’s programs?

No, UCLA does not have Yellow Ribbon funding for its master's degree programs.

However, as UCLA is a public institution, your tuition costs may be fully covered by the GI Bill®, assuming you have full eligibility. You should check with the school to ensure your preferred master's degree program is 100% covered.

Does UCLA offer a military discount or reduced tuition rates for military and veterans?

No, UCLA does not necessarily offer a military discount or reduced tuition for military and veterans. However, as a state school, its rate may not exceed the military tuition assistance cap of $250.
