by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at NUNM? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
National University of Natural Medicine participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA. Roughly 3 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at NUNM compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $680 |  |
| Out-of-state | $680 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at NUNM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,460/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,680 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at NUNM.
In the latest reporting year, about 7 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $190,702.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 6 | $173,753 | $28,959 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 6 | $173,753 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
