Veterans at University of Virginia-Main Campus Pay About $751 Out of Pocket for Tuition

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at University of Virginia. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at University of Virginia.

Yellow Ribbon Program Available

University of Virginia-Main Campus is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.

Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether University of Virginia is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$269
Out-of-state	$329

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at University of Virginia.

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 Virginia run about $1,480, leaving about $480 out of pocket.

GI Bill® & DoD Benefits Used at University of Virginia-Main Campus

Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to University of Virginia.

In the latest reporting year, about 523 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $12,220,414.

These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
