At Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology, the GI Bill Covers Veteran Tuition in Full

The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending BFIT. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

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

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at BFIT.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.

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.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$600
Out-of-state	$600

Housing Allowance Coverage

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 BFIT.

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; BFIT estimates these costs at about $1,600, leaving about $600 out of pocket.
