by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Adrian? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Adrian. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $40,556 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $20,321 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Adrian.

The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Adrian is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,422 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,422 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Adrian.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $13,424 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,692/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,536 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $112 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
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 Adrian run about $1,100, leaving about $100 out of pocket.
