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

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at GSU.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

GSU is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at GSU compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$0
Out-of-state	$0

Housing Allowance Coverage

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 GSU.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$9,932
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,242/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$9,936
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$4

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 GSU run about $1,800, leaving about $800 out of pocket.
