Veterans Typically Attend Alma College for no More Than $19,908
If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Alma College
should not be more than $19,908.
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 $41,398
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.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations
If 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.
Alma College awarded a total of $39,877
in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year.
This was split among 5 veterans
for an average award of $7,975
