by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at PVAMU? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending PVAMU. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $11,299 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $11,299 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at PVAMU.
There is no record that PVAMU participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether PVAMU is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $2,116 |  |
| Out-of-state | $2,265 | |
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 PVAMU.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,872 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,346/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,768 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,896 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,571 in supply costs at PVAMU, leaving about $571 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at PVAMU.
Roughly 234 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $1,858,580.
