Attend Ana G. Mendez University as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at UAGM. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$13,575
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$13,575
Tuition out of pocket	$0

Private Tuition Fully Covered for Veterans

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at UAGM.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Federal data does not indicate that UAGM currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether UAGM is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$1,545
Out-of-state	$1,545

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 UAGM.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$10,063
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,718/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$21,744
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$11,681

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Books & Supplies Coverage

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; UAGM estimates these costs at about $2,010, leaving about $1,010 out of pocket.
