by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Yeshiva for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Yeshiva. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $49,900 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $29,665 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Yeshiva.
Federal data does not indicate that Yeshiva currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Yeshiva compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $420 |  |
| Out-of-state | $420 | |
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 Yeshiva.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,250 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $5,196/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $41,568 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $27,318 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Yeshiva estimates these costs at about $1,250, leaving about $250 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Yeshiva.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 22 | $557,716 | $25,351 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 2 | $57,716 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 20 | $500,000 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
