At Wayne State College, the GI Bill Covers Veteran Tuition in Full

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending WSC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Public College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

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 WSC.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Wayne State College and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 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 Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at WSC compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$76
Out-of-state	$76

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 WSC.

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. 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 WSC run about $1,488, leaving about $488 out of pocket.

Veteran Education Benefit Dollars at Wayne State College

These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at WSC.

Roughly 27 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $108,772.

GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
