Veterans at New York School of Interior Design Pay About $10,095 Out of Pocket for Tuition

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at NYSID. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$30,330
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$20,235
Tuition out of pocket	$10,095

Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

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 NYSID.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

There is no record that NYSID participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at NYSID compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$1,130
Out-of-state	$1,130

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. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at NYSID.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$21,600
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$5,196/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$41,568
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$19,968

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,600 in supply costs at NYSID, leaving about $600 out of pocket.
