by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Manhattanville for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Manhattanville. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $42,950 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $22,715 |
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 Manhattanville.
Manhattanville University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Manhattanville is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $75 |  |
| Out-of-state | $75 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Manhattanville.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $15,402 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,230/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $33,840 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $18,438 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $800 in supply costs at Manhattanville, so the stipend covers them in full.
