by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Texas Health School for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Texas Health School. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $31,255 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $11,020 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Texas Health School.
Federal data does not indicate that Texas Health School currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 Texas Health School.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,259/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,072 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $2,860 in supply costs at Texas Health School, leaving about $1,860 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Texas Health School.
