Expect Roughly $3,685 in Tuition Out of Pocket at Faulkner University

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

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$23,920
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$20,235
Tuition out of pocket	$3,685

Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Faulkner.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Faulkner is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.

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 Faulkner compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$670
Out-of-state	$670

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 Faulkner.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$8,020
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,749/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,992
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$5,972

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.
