by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at MUIH? 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, Maryland University of Integrative Health 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.
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 MUIH.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,667/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,336 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to MUIH.
In the latest reporting year, about 46 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $445,067.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 43 | $509,883 | $11,858 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 43 | $509,883 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
