Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Wilmington University. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $12,330 |

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Wilmington University is below that cap.

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 Wilmington University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $6,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,811/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $22,488 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $16,488 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,800 in supply costs at Wilmington University, leaving about $800 out of pocket.
