G.I. Bill® Tuition assistance is limited. Check out below if Aurora's tuition is covered. Be sure to check out the G.I. Bill® information for each school you're considering because each school's coverage varies.
Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Aurora University by at least $3,739.
| Veteran Sticker Price | $34,720 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits | $38,459 |

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Aurora University will not be fully covered. Aurora University charges $25,960 a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235. In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.
| Veteran Tuition And Fees | $25,960 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit* | $20,235 |
| Total Out Of Pocket | $5,725 |
| *Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235. | |
If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While Aurora University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.
Aurora University awarded a total of $2,596 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 4 veterans for an average award of $649 ($1,298 after government matching).
The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Aurora University. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
