If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend University of Dubuque should not be more than $18,647.

Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by University of Dubuque will not be fully covered. University of Dubuque charges $35,700 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.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

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 University of Dubuque participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

University of Dubuque awarded a total of $220,791 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 30 veterans for an average award of $7,360 ($14,719 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 University of Dubuque. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
