Veterans at Saint Martin’s University Pay About $23,975 Out of Pocket for Tuition

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Saint Martin’s. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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 Saint Martin’s.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Saint Martin’s 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 77 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 Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Saint Martin’s is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$610
Out-of-state	$610

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

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 Saint Martin’s.

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Saint Martin’s estimates these costs at about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.

GI Bill® & DoD Benefits Used at Saint Martin’s University

Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Saint Martin’s.

In the latest reporting year, about 290 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $5,979,578.

These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
