The Post-9/11 GI Bill® will pay you:
- The higher of the actual tuition & fees or $26,381.37 per academic year for a private school
Introduction
If your actual tuition & fees costs at VWU exceed the maximum Post 9-11 GI Bill® amounts, we are an active participant for the Yellow Ribbon Program. We will honor the benefits for those eligible at 100%. Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, VWU and the VA will match the amounts remaining for tuition and fees that exceed the academic year cap for the Post 9-11 GI Bill®. The Post 9-11 GI Bill® and VA will issue payment directly to VWU for tuition & fees.
