by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Barclay College? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Barclay College. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $26,590 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $6,355 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Barclay College.
Federal data does not indicate that Barclay College currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Barclay College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $30 |  |
| Out-of-state | $30 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Barclay College.

| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,431/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,448 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,448 |

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