Attend United States University as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending USU. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at USU.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that USU participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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 USU falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$870
Out-of-state	$870

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 USU.

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,600 in supply costs at USU, leaving about $600 out of pocket.
