by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Maryville U? 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 Maryville U. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $27,166 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $6,931 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Maryville U.
There is no record that Maryville U participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at Maryville U falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $900 |  |
| Out-of-state | $900 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Maryville U.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,596/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,768 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $768 |
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.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Maryville U.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 302 | $3,513,035 | $11,633 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 198 | $2,226,583 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 104 | $1,286,452 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 36 | $146,534 | $4,070 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 27 | $119,034 | — |
| DoD TA — graduate | 9 | $27,500 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
