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

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at OSU.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether OSU is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$156
Out-of-state	$156

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at OSU.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$12,200
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,665/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,320
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$1,120

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. 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 $1,300 in supply costs at OSU, leaving about $300 out of pocket.
