DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at University of Redlands compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |

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 University of Redlands.
| Item | Amount |
