by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Newman University will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Newman University. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $35,500 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $15,265 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Newman University.
There is no record that Newman University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Newman University is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $420 |  |
| Out-of-state | $420 | |
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 Newman University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,846 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,746/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,968 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,122 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 Newman University run about $1,393, leaving about $393 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Newman University.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
