Gratitude from a student recipient!
"I want to thank you for your contribution to the Yellow Ribbon Initiative Fund and for aiding me with my academic career. Your contribution has not only greatly helped me to pursue my interests here at Wake Forest but has aided me in the development of my professional abilities at a school that I love. My ability to be able to learn and explore these topics at Wake Forest would not be possible without your contribution. I cannot express enough my appreciation for the Yellow Ribbon Initiative Fund, as it allows me to gain the experience here at Wake Forest to pursue my dreams and aspirations."
- Catherine ('23)

SUPPORT THE YELLOW RIBBON INITIATIVE!
The Yellow Ribbon Initiative (YRI) provides financial aid to undergraduate students from veteran families using the Veteran’s Affairs GI Bill. In 2019, Wake Forest joined other top universities to provide Yellow Ribbon support to these students. Through this model Wake Forest provides up to $5,000 per year in matching funds to undergraduate students that use a parent’s GI Bill benefits. Currently, the University does not cap the number of students that are able to participate. Please join us in this special fundraising initiative by making a gift today. With your help, every gift will be matched dollar for dollar.
A GIFT TO THE YRI WILL...
- Honor our country’s veterans
- Support Undergraduate Student Aid
- Show your love for Wake Forest
