Attend San Diego State University as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending SDSU. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Private College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at SDSU.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Federal data does not indicate that SDSU currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.

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

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$2,644
Out-of-state	$2,644

Housing Allowance Coverage

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 SDSU.

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Books & Supplies Coverage

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $908 in supply costs at SDSU, so the stipend covers them in full.
