by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Appalachian School of Law for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Appalachian School of Law participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Appalachian School of Law.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,446/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,568 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Appalachian School of Law.
Roughly 3 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $55,210.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 5 | $149,920 | $29,984 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 5 | $149,920 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
