Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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 Anderson University Indiana.

Anderson University Participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program

Anderson University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.

Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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 Anderson University Indiana falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$1,090
Out-of-state	$1,090

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Anderson University Indiana.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$8,300
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,617/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$12,936
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$4,636

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Anderson University Indiana estimates these costs at about $1,500, leaving about $500 out of pocket.
