Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Federal data does not indicate that UTHSC currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

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 UTHSC falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$92
Out-of-state	$104

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at UTHSC.

Item	Amount
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,331/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$18,648

The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
