by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Barton Community College? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Barton Community College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $3,904 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $3,904 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
At public institutions the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays in-state tuition and fees in full, meaning most eligible veterans pay no tuition at Barton Community College.
Federal data does not indicate that Barton Community College currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. 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 Barton Community College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $48 |  |
| Out-of-state | $48 | |
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 Barton Community College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,610 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,392/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,136 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,526 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Barton Community College estimates these costs at about $1,460, leaving about $460 out of pocket.
