by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Albertus Magnus will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Albertus Magnus. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $39,924 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $19,689 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Albertus Magnus.
Albertus Magnus College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Albertus Magnus compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $400 |  |
| Out-of-state | $400 | |
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 Albertus Magnus.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,966 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,171/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $25,368 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $10,402 |
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.
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 Albertus Magnus run about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Albertus Magnus.
