by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at UNMC will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
University of Nebraska Medical Center is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. Roughly 7 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 UNMC falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $232 |  |
| Out-of-state | $232 | |
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 UNMC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,055/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $16,440 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to UNMC.
