Veterans Typically Attend University of Houston for no More Than $742

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 Houston should not be more than $742.

Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits	$24,585

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Texas and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Texas and it has been less than three years since your discharge University of Houston will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Veteran Tuition And Fees	$9,457
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$9,457
Total In Your Pocket	-$0
*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 Participation Could Not Be Determined

Unfortunately, it looks like University of Houston 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 $352, University of Houston falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$352 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$861 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with University of Houston 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 University of Houston thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $382. 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	$14,510
Post-9/11 Benefit	$14,128
Total Out Of Pocket	$382

A MHA of $1,766 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Your Books and Supplies are Not Fully Covered

Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what University of Houston estimates your expenses to be ($1,360).

Supplies Expenses	$1,360
Post-9/11 Benefit	$1,000
Total Out Of Pocket	$360
