by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at TTUHSC? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
There is no record that TTUHSC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at TTUHSC falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $910 |  |
| Out-of-state | $910 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at TTUHSC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,599/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,792 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to TTUHSC.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 174 | $1,691,929 | $9,724 |

| DoD TA — undergraduate | 4 | $13,670 | — |

GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
