by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Campbell for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Campbell. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $40,410 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $20,175 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Campbell.
Campbell is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Campbell is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $305 |  |
| Out-of-state | $305 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Campbell.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $15,200 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,908/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,264 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $64 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Campbell estimates these costs at about $1,384, leaving about $384 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Campbell.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 407 | $5,051,504 | $12,412 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 323 | $3,457,192 | — |

| DoD TA — undergraduate | 287 | $648,289 | — |
| DoD TA — graduate | 11 | $19,083 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
