Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Methodist College.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

Methodist College is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Methodist College compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$1,760
Out-of-state	$1,760

Housing Allowance Falls Short of Living Costs

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 Methodist College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$16,614
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,557/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$12,456
Estimated shortfall to cover yourself	$4,158

Living costs here run above the housing allowance, so plan to cover the difference from savings or other income. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Methodist College estimates these costs at about $1,700, leaving about $700 out of pocket.
