by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at NDNU will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Notre Dame de Namur University is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether NDNU is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
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 NDNU.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,500 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,557/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $36,456 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $28,956 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at NDNU.
In the latest reporting year, about 2 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $3,246.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 4 | $41,206 | $10,302 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 1 | $5,026 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 3 | $36,180 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
