by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at UWM Flexible Option? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Flex is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
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 UWM Flexible Option falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
