<p>If I misinterpreted how out-of-state tuition works with the GI bill, my decision may be easier than I expected. </p>
<p>I thought UMD would be paid the highest in-state amount for the state/nation and then I would have to cover the rest (similar to a private school). If the GI Bill is only paying UMD’s specific in-state amount (~8,000) and I have to cover the rest, that drastically impacts my decision.</p>
