by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Bastyr University will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Bastyr University is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
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 Bastyr University falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $300 |  |
| Out-of-state | $300 | |
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 Bastyr University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,900 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,110/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $32,880 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $19,980 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Bastyr University.
