Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Florida and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Florida and it has been less than three years since your discharge Florida State University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.
Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant With No Limitations

Florida State University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program and does not place limitations on the awards it grants. You must still apply for and be accepted so contact the college. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award that should result in no out of pocket costs related to tuition and fees.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Florida State University awarded a total of $22,365 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 24 veterans for an average award of $932 ($1,864 after government matching).

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $218, Florida State University falls below the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?$218 per creditis below tuition assistance cap
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?$724 per creditis not below tuition assistance cap
Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Florida State University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Florida State University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $3,902. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses$16,470
Post-9/11 Benefit$12,568
Total Out Of Pocket$3,902
A MHA of $1,571 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Supplies Expenses$1,000
Post-9/11 Benefit$1,000
Total In Your Pocket-$0
