Wondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at ATA College? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending ATA College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $13,930 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $13,930 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at ATA College.
There is no record that ATA College 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.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at ATA College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,676 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,073/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $16,584 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $7,908 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; ATA College estimates these costs at about $3,622, leaving about $2,622 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at ATA College.
Roughly 10 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $56,610.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 2 | $21,780 | $10,890 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 2 | $21,780 | — |
