Veterans Typically Attend York University for no More Than $1,365 in Tuition

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

Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at York College.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

York 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 Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$15
Out-of-state	$15

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at York College.

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; York College estimates these costs at about $300, so the stipend covers them in full.
