by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to BRCN for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
There is no record that BRCN participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at BRCN falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $900 |  |
| Out-of-state | $900 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at BRCN.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,527/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,216 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at BRCN.
Approximately 2 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $17,884.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
