Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Federal data does not indicate that SRU currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

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 SRU is below that cap.

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at SRU.

Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,307/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$18,456
