by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Kansas Wesleyan University? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Kansas Wesleyan University. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $33,470 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $13,235 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Kansas Wesleyan University.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Kansas Wesleyan University and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. About 10 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Kansas Wesleyan University is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $500 |  |
| Out-of-state | $500 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Kansas Wesleyan University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,328 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,509/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,072 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,744 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Kansas Wesleyan University estimates these costs at about $1,400, leaving about $400 out of pocket.
