G.I. Bill® Tuition assistance is limited. Check out below if Boise State University'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 Boise State University for no More Than $3,654

If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Boise State University should not be more than $3,654.

Veteran Sticker Price$23,346
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits$19,692
Total Out Of Pocket$3,654

Tuition Covered for Residents of Idaho

If you live in Idaho and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Idaho and it has been less than three years since your discharge there is a chance that Boise State University will consider you an in-state student anyways. Idaho is one of the few states where this reciprocity is not guaranteed so you will want to verify this with them directly.

Veteran Tuition And Fees$8,068
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$8,068
Total In Your Pocket-$0
*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 Participant But With Limitations

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. While Boise State University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Boise State University awarded a total of $29,210 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 8 veterans for an average award of $3,651 ($7,302 after government matching).

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Boise State University. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.

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 $367, Boise State University falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?$367 per creditis not below tuition assistance cap
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?$724 per creditis not below tuition assistance cap
Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Boise State 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 Boise State University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $3,454. 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$14,078
Post-9/11 Benefit$10,624
Total Out Of Pocket$3,454
A MHA of $1,328 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 Boise State University estimates your expenses to be ($1,200).

Supplies Expenses$1,200
Post-9/11 Benefit$1,000
Total Out Of Pocket$200
