by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Meridian University? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
There is no record that Meridian University 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.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Meridian University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,309/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $26,472 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Meridian University.
Approximately 6 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $78,416.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 4 | $43,264 | $10,816 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 4 | $43,264 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
