Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Nebraska Methodist College.
Nebraska Methodist College of Nursing & Allied Health is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. In the most recent year, about 2 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.
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.
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 Nebraska Methodist College falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,301 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,301 | |
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 Nebraska Methodist College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,310 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,055/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $16,440 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,130 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Nebraska Methodist College run about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
