Public Tuition Fully Covered for Veterans

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 ACC.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

There is no record that ACC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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 ACC falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$28
Out-of-state	$28

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at ACC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$13,452
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,860/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$14,880
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$1,428

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Books & Supplies Coverage

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $4,556 in supply costs at ACC, leaving about $3,556 out of pocket.
