Veteran tuition & fees	$6,496
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$6,496

Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at BYU.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

BYU is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at BYU compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$0
Out-of-state	$0

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at BYU.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$9,720
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,280/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$18,240
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$8,520

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.

Book and Supply Stipend

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,040 in supply costs at BYU, leaving about $40 out of pocket.
