Veterans at Alfred University Pay About $19,295 Out of Pocket for Tuition

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Alfred. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Alfred.

Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Alfred is below that cap.

Your Living Expenses Are Only Partially Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Alfred.

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 Alfred run about $1,300, leaving about $300 out of pocket.
