*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Bowie State University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. 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 so check with the college.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Bowie State University awarded a total of $1,000 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was awarded to just one veteran for a total award of $2,000, after government matching.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $248, Bowie State University falls below the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$248 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$687 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Bowie State University to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Bowie State University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential credit in your favor of $2,934. It is possible that your living expenses will be more than covered!
