Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending NUS Florida. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$37,080

Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at NUS Florida.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Federal data does not indicate that NUS Florida currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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 NUS Florida falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$600
Out-of-state	$600

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at NUS Florida.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$18,018
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,514/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$20,112
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$2,094

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.

Books & Supplies Coverage

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $2,128 in supply costs at NUS Florida, leaving about $1,128 out of pocket.
