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

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 Florida A&M University.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Florida A&M University 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.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at Florida A&M University falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$70
Out-of-state	$70

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. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Florida A&M University.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$9,872
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,815/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$14,520
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$4,648

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Books & Supplies Coverage

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Florida A&M University run about $1,138, leaving about $138 out of pocket.
