Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Alma College will not be fully covered. Alma College charges $37,310 a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235. In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Veteran Tuition And Fees$37,310
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$20,235
Total Out Of Pocket$17,075
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

If you do not qualify for full benefits or are unsure how your benefits stack up in your scenario, use the calculator to determine how your benefits cover your cost of attending Alma College.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill ® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

In the event that you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While Alma College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program. The calculator can help you sort out your eligibility.

Alma College awarded a total of $15,019 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 2 veterans for an average award of $7,509 ($15,019 after government matching).

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Alma College. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

  • Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered.

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Alma College thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $3,383. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Off Campus Living Expenses$12,503

A MHA of $1,140 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you. There are many factors that influence it so be sure to use the calculator to verify your award.

Your Books and Supplies are Likely Covered.

Your book stipend of $1000 more than covers what Alma College estimates your expenses to be ($800).
