by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at PNWU will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA. Roughly 2 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at PNWU.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,923/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,384 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at PNWU.
In the latest reporting year, about 8 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $196,772.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
