For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at UW Bothell.
Federal data does not indicate that UW Bothell 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 UW Bothell falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $35 |  |
| Out-of-state | $35 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at UW Bothell.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $17,115 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,174/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $25,392 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $8,277 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; UW Bothell estimates these costs at about $900, so the stipend covers them in full.
