Our mission at Texas Wesleyan University is to develop students to their full potential as individuals and as members of the world community.
The University is committed to the principles that each student deserves personal attention and that all members of the academic community must have freedom to pursue independent thought and to exercise intellectual curiosity.
If you're a veteran, or a dependent of a veteran, your VA benefits can cover the cost of a private education at Texas Wesleyan. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers education benefits that can help you pursue your education. To see if you're eligible, visit www.gibill.va.gov.
Depending on your military training experience, you could be eligible for class credit. And when you graduate, you'll be recognized for your service with honor cords and a service pin. In case, you don't already know, Texas Wesleyan was named a Military Friendly School in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The Yellow Ribbon Program is a partnership between Texas Wesleyan University and Department of Veteran's Affairs to supplement the tuition benefits of the Post 9/11 Veteran's Educational Assistance Program of 2008 (Chapter 33).
This program allows our institution to enter into a voluntary agreement with the VA to contribute funds to a veteran's unmet tuition and fees when they have exceeded the amount payable under Chapter 33. The program allows Texas Wesleyan to contribute an amount up to 50% of the veteran's unmet costs where the VA will match the amount.
To be eligible for the Yellow Ribbon Award you must:
- Be a veteran and eligible for 100% under the Post9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33)
- Have remaining entitlement under the Post 9/11 GI Bill
- Not be on active duty or a spouse transferee of an active duty member
- Be a Texas Wesleyan student continuously enrolled
- Be in good academic standing at Texas Wesleyan University
- Be in a VA approved degree program
- Be registered for classes that apply to your degree program
- Successfully complete all registered classes or you may be required to repay VA and/or Texas Wesleyan University if you drop or fail any classes after the semester begins
Your eligibility will be automatically certified upon each term. Contact the Office of Financial Aid when you become aware of changes to your eligibility for benefits or your expected enrollment.
