by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at VUIM will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Federal data does not indicate that VUIM currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 VUIM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,075/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,600 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at VUIM.
Approximately 12 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $132,513.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 9 | $104,340 | $11,593 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 9 | $104,340 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
