In 2009, the University launched the Rochester Pledge Scholarship in anticipation of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Yellow Ribbon Program, which was included under a revised G.I. Bill. The University’s contribution, combined with the Yellow Ribbon benefits, guarantees full tuition for qualified veterans attending the College, the Eastman School’s undergraduate program, and the Simon School. A physics major from Cookeville, Tenn., Hamilton was stationed in Germany and completed a 15-month deployment to Iraq. A native of Rochester, Kinsella is majoring in economics. He transferred to Rochester from Buffalo State and plans to attend the Simon School after graduation.
