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.
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.

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 credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?

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.
