by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at UMN Rochester will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
There is no record that UMN Rochester participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether UMN Rochester is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,162 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,162 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at UMN Rochester run about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to UMN Rochester.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 5 | $67,826 | $13,565 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 5 | $67,826 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 2 | $8,000 | $4,000 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 2 | $8,000 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
