by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Pfeiffer University? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Pfeiffer University. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $33,930 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $13,695 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Pfeiffer University.
