by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at ASCC will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending ASCC. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $5,460 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $5,460 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at ASCC.
There is no record that ASCC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether ASCC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $180 |  |
| Out-of-state | $180 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at ASCC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $4,700 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,667/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,336 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $8,636 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; ASCC estimates these costs at about $3,600, leaving about $2,600 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at ASCC.
Approximately 9 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $26,780.
