Authority: Title 38 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) 3317 and Executive Order 

13607. 

Title: Yellow Ribbon Program 

Agreement and Principles of Excellence 

for Educational Institutions, VA Form 

22–0839 and VA Form 22–10275. 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0718. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement with 

change. 

Abstract: These forms will be used to 

satisfy requirements as outlined. VA 

Form 22–0839, Yellow Ribbon Program 

Agreement, is sanctioned by Public Law 

110–252 which authorized the 

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to 

administer an education benefit 

program known as the Post-9/11 GI Bill. 

Section 3317 of title 38, United States 

Code, established the Yellow Ribbon 

G.I. Enhancement Program, referred to 

as the ‘‘Yellow Ribbon Program’’. The 

Yellow Ribbon Program allows 

institutions of higher Learning (IHLs) to 

voluntarily enter into an agreement with 

VA to commit to contributing towards 

the outstanding amount of tuition and 

fees not otherwise covered under the 

Post-9/11 GI Bill. VA will match the 

contribution made by the IHL not to 

exceed fifty percent of the total 

outstanding amount of tuition and fees. 

IHLs wishing to participate in the 

Yellow Ribbon Program are required to 

submit the Yellow Ribbon Program 

Agreement (VA Form 22–0839) 

indicating the maximum number of 

students that can receive this additional 

benefit under the program, the 

maximum contribution towards 

outstanding tuition and fees for each 

student based on student status (i.e., 

undergraduate, graduate, doctoral) or

sub-element (i.e., college or professional 

school). Title 38 U.S.C 3317 necessitates 

this collection of information. VA Form 

22–10275, Principles of Excellence for 

Educational Institution is authorized by 

Executive Order 13607. Participating 

schools commit to voluntarily follow 

the guidelines outlined in Executive 

Order 13607 intended to promote 

transparency and student success. 

Currently, the VA Form 22–0839 

includes the Principles of Excellence 

(POE) application, but because only 

degree granting schools can participate 

in the Yellow Ribbon Program, nondegree granting schools are 

disadvantaged. Further the Yellow 

Ribbon Program Participation is only 

solicited during an annual ‘open season’ 

from March to May, POE participation 

is further restricted. VA Form 22–10275 

will be made available year-round. 

Executive Order 13607 necessitates this 

collection of information. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 25,928 

hours. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Respondent: 14 hours. 

Frequency of Response: Once per
