There is no record that AAMI participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

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 AAMI falls under that cap.

Housing Allowance Coverage

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at AAMI.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$8,000
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$5,196/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$41,568
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$33,568

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; AAMI estimates these costs at about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
