by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to MD Anderson for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
There is no record that MD Anderson 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.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether MD Anderson is below that cap.

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 MD Anderson.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,259/mo |

The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
