At Minot State University, the GI Bill Covers Veteran Tuition in Full

The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending MSU. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Public Tuition Fully Covered for Veterans

For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at MSU.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

Federal data does not indicate that MSU currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

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 MSU falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$1,534
Out-of-state	$1,534

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 MSU.

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Books & Supplies Coverage

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; MSU estimates these costs at about $1,100, leaving about $100 out of pocket.
