by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at UTI Dallas? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending UTI Dallas. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $54,550 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $34,315 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at UTI Dallas.

The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
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 UTI Dallas.
