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

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at National University College.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

There is no record that National University College 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.

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

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether National University College is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$813
Out-of-state	$805

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at National University College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$7,936
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,612/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$28,896
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$20,960

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; National University College estimates these costs at about $1,065, leaving about $65 out of pocket.
