Private College Tuition Exceeds the GI Bill® Cap

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 Peter’s College.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Saint Peter’s University is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. In the most recent year, about 5 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.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?

Out-of-state	$15

Housing Allowance Coverage

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Saint Peter’s College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$7,500
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$4,515/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$36,120
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$28,620

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. 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; Saint Peter’s College estimates these costs at about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
