by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at OSU-OKC will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending OSU-OKC. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $3,779 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $3,779 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at OSU-OKC.
OSU-OKC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. 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 OSU-OKC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $28 |  |
| Out-of-state | $28 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at OSU-OKC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $5,534 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,746/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,968 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $8,434 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; OSU-OKC estimates these costs at about $1,440, leaving about $440 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at OSU-OKC.
Approximately 153 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $423,991.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 44 | $90,519 | $2,057 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 44 | $90,519 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 3 | $11,444 | $3,815 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 3 | $11,444 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
