by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Beloit will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 Beloit. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $58,554 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $38,319 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Beloit.
Beloit College is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. About 6 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Beloit is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $522 |  |
| Out-of-state | $522 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Beloit.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,102 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,770/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $14,160 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,058 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,134 in supply costs at Beloit, leaving about $134 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Beloit.
