by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to High Point for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending High Point. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $44,208 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $23,973 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at High Point.
High Point University is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. In the most recent year, about 52 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether High Point is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $5,598 |  |
| Out-of-state | $5,598 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at High Point.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,884/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,072 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,072 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at High Point run about $1,500, leaving about $500 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to High Point.
Roughly 98 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $1,991,000.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 76 | $2,080,516 | $27,375 |
