Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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 Washburn University.

Washburn University Participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program

Washburn University 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.

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 Washburn University is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$117
Out-of-state	$117

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Washburn University.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$10,931
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,638/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,104
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$2,173

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Books & Supplies Coverage

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 Washburn University run about $970, so the stipend covers them in full.
