Attend Dickinson State University as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending DSU. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Public Tuition Fully Covered for Veterans

For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at DSU.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

There is no record that DSU participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether DSU is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$69
Out-of-state	$69

Housing Allowance Coverage

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at DSU.

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,200 in supply costs at DSU, leaving about $200 out of pocket.

Veteran Education Benefit Dollars at Dickinson State University

Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to DSU.

Roughly 19 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $83,962.

GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
