by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at IWU? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Indiana Wesleyan University-National & Global and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at IWU compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $33 |  |
| Out-of-state | $33 | |
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; IWU estimates these costs at about $264, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to IWU.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 254 | $1,167,217 | $4,595 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 165 | $616,992 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 89 | $550,225 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 108 | $311,255 | $2,882 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 84 | $225,010 | — |
| DoD TA — graduate | 24 | $86,245 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
