Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Dallas Nursing Institute. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

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 Dallas Nursing Institute.
Federal data does not indicate that Dallas Nursing Institute currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Dallas Nursing Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,652/mo |
