Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at OPSU.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

OPSU is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. 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 OPSU falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$116
Out-of-state	$116

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. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at OPSU.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$6,985
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,644/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,152
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$6,167

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; OPSU estimates these costs at about $465, so the stipend covers them in full.
