by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at UNT Health Science Center? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Federal data does not indicate that UNT Health Science Center currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
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 UNT Health Science Center falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $2,249 |  |
| Out-of-state | $2,249 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at UNT Health Science Center.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,238/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,904 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. 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 UNT Health Science Center.
Roughly 19 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $194,328.
