by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at AMC Albany will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Albany Medical College is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
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.
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 AMC Albany.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,583/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,664 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
