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 Participation Could Not Be Determined

Unfortunately, it looks like Northern State University does not participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you will have to pay some tuition out of pocket unless you qualify for other financial aid.

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 $292, Northern State University falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$292 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$394 per credit

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

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Northern State University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $2,813. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses	$13,125
Post-9/11 Benefit	$10,312

A MHA of $1,289 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Supplies Expenses	$1,200
Post-9/11 Benefit	$1,000
