by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Bethel will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 Bethel. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $7,680 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $7,680 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Bethel.
There is no record that Bethel participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. 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 Bethel is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $150 |  |
| Out-of-state | $150 | |
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 Bethel.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,500 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,108/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,864 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $13,364 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Bethel estimates these costs at about $730, so the stipend covers them in full.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Bethel.
