by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Regis U for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Regis U. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $43,980 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $23,745 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Regis U.
Federal data does not indicate that Regis U currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. 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 Regis U is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $2,220 |  |
| Out-of-state | $2,220 | |
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 Regis U.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,678 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,223/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,784 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,106 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Regis U estimates these costs at about $1,460, leaving about $460 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Regis U.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 146 | $1,920,910 | $13,157 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 66 | $930,803 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 80 | $990,107 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 47 | $135,017 | $2,873 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 38 | $97,765 | — |
| DoD TA — graduate | 9 | $37,252 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
