Will you go to Alaska Career College for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.

| Item | Amount |

| Veteran tuition & fees | $16,545 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $16,545 |

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Alaska Career College.

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Alaska Career College.
