Attend American Institute of Alternative Medicine as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at AIAM. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$17,291
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$17,291
Tuition out of pocket	$0

Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at AIAM.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that AIAM 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

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether AIAM is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$3,785
Out-of-state	$3,785

Housing Allowance Falls Short of Living Costs

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at AIAM.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$19,386
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,908/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$15,264
Estimated shortfall to cover yourself	$4,122

The housing benefit does not fully cover estimated living costs at this school — budget for the gap. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 AIAM run about $688, so the stipend covers them in full.
