Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at UHSP.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. In the most recent year, about 7 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 UHSP is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$600
Out-of-state	$600

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at UHSP.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$12,375
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,376/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$19,008
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$6,633

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.

Book and Supply Stipend

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at UHSP run about $1,200, leaving about $200 out of pocket.
