Veterans Typically Attend American International College for no More Than $22,735 in Tuition

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

Private College Tuition Exceeds the GI Bill® Cap

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 AIC.

Yellow Ribbon Program Available

Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, American International College and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. In the most recent year, about 5 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.

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.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at AIC compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$150
Out-of-state	$150

Housing Allowance Coverage

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 AIC.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,200 in supply costs at AIC, leaving about $200 out of pocket.
