How much of the cost at Neumann will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Neumann. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $37,300 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $17,065 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Neumann.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Neumann University and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Neumann compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $120 | |
| Out-of-state | $120 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Neumann.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $18,560 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,682/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,456 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,896 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Neumann estimates these costs at about $1,600, leaving about $600 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Neumann.
Approximately 24 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $278,647.
