by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Bacone College will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Bacone College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $15,060 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $15,060 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Bacone College.
Federal data does not indicate that Bacone College currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Bacone College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,500 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,497/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,976 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,476 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Bacone College estimates these costs at about $2,500, leaving about $1,500 out of pocket.
