The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending University of Providence. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at University of Providence.
University of Providence is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. Roughly 12 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at University of Providence falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at University of Providence.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,605/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,840 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,840 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,000 in supply costs at University of Providence, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to University of Providence.
