Public College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

At public institutions the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays in-state tuition and fees in full, meaning most eligible veterans pay no tuition at CVCC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Federal data does not indicate that CVCC currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at CVCC falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$67
Out-of-state	$67

Housing Allowance Coverage

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at CVCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$11,200
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,788/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$14,304
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$3,104

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at CVCC run about $1,008, leaving about $8 out of pocket.
