by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at University of Tulsa? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending University of Tulsa. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $48,602 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $28,367 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at University of Tulsa.
University of Tulsa participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA. About 10 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether University of Tulsa is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $206 |  |
| Out-of-state | $206 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at University of Tulsa.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,192 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,611/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,888 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,696 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
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 University of Tulsa run about $0, so the stipend covers them in full.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at University of Tulsa.
