Wondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at BHU? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending BHU. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $8,492 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $8,492 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at BHU.
BHU is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether BHU is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $286 | |
| Out-of-state | $286 |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at BHU.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,200 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,490/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,920 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,720 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 BHU run about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to BHU.
In the latest reporting year, about 3 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $22,359.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 15 | $30,422 | $2,028 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 8 | $15,158 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 7 | $15,264 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
