by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Walsh for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Walsh College 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.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Walsh is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $175 |  |
| Out-of-state | $175 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Walsh.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,364/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,912 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
