Attend Bellevue College as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending BC. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at BC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that BC 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.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether BC is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$77
Out-of-state	$77

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at BC.

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; BC estimates these costs at about $762, so the stipend covers them in full.

Veteran Education Benefit Dollars at Bellevue College

These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at BC.

In the latest reporting year, about 246 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $871,718.

GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
