Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Pennsylvania and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Pennsylvania and it has been less than three years since your discharge Temple University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Veteran Tuition And Fees$16,970
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$16,970
Total In Your Pocket-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.
Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While Temple University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Temple University awarded a total of $39,170 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 9 veterans for an average award of $4,352 ($8,704 after government matching).

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Temple University. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

Below Cap for State Residents?$670 per creditis not below tuition assistance cap
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?$1,208 per creditis not below tuition assistance cap
Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Temple University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Temple University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $472. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses$17,240
Post-9/11 Benefit$16,768
Total Out Of Pocket$472
A MHA of $2,096 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what Temple University estimates your expenses to be ($1,494).

Supplies Expenses$1,494
Post-9/11 Benefit$1,000
