by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at ASUMH? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at ASUMH. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $3,168 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $3,168 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
At public institutions the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays in-state tuition and fees in full, meaning most eligible veterans pay no tuition at ASUMH.
ASUMH is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 ASUMH falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $25 |  |
| Out-of-state | $25 | |
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 ASUMH.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,762 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,464/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,712 |
| Estimated shortfall to cover yourself | $3,050 |
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.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,600 in supply costs at ASUMH, leaving about $600 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at ASUMH.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 25 | $73,564 | $2,943 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 25 | $73,564 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
