Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Quinnipiac.

Yellow Ribbon Program Available

Quinnipiac University 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. In the most recent year, about 7 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.

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

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Quinnipiac compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 Quinnipiac.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$15,260
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,171/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$25,368
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$10,108

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Quinnipiac estimates these costs at about $1,100, leaving about $100 out of pocket.
