Will You go to Auburn for Free Thanks to the G.I. Bill®?
How much will attending Auburn University cost you? Below you'll find a breakdown of the G.I. Bill® tuition assistance and more for Auburn.
Why is the G.I. Bill® Important?
G.I. Bill® Tuition assistance is limited. Check out below if Auburn's tuition is covered. Be sure to check out the G.I. Bill® information for each school you're considering because each school's coverage varies.
Veterans Typically Attend Auburn University for no More Than $9,512
If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Auburn University
should not be more than $9,512.
Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits
If you live in Alabama and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be
covered by your Post-9/11 benefits.
If you live outside of Alabama and it has been less than three years since your discharge
Auburn University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or
$20,235.
Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits
so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.
Yellow Ribbon Program
It appears as though Auburn University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine
if there are restrictions of this participation.
If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be
able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award so check with the college.
Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in
a Yellow Ribbon program.
Auburn University awarded a total of $180,631
in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year.
This was split among 27 veterans
for an average award of $6,690
($13,380 after government matching).
Questions to Ask the Admissions Department
Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?
Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap
With a per credit charge for in-state students of $409,
Auburn University falls above
the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.
Below Cap for State Residents?
$409 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?
$1,227 per credit
Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check
with Auburn University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.
Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered
After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Auburn University thinks your living expenses should be,
we see a potential shortfall of $9,312.
It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.
Off Campus Living Expenses
$19,504
Post-9/11 Benefit
$10,192
Total Out Of Pocket
$9,312
A MHA of $1,274 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.
Your Books and Supplies are Not Fully Covered
Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what Auburn University estimates your expenses to be ($1,200).
Supplies Expenses
$1,200
Post-9/11 Benefit
