by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to ACOM for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Federal data does not indicate that ACOM currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at ACOM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,626/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,008 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to ACOM.
Approximately 3 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $82,158.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 5 | $177,515 | $35,503 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 5 | $177,515 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
