How much of the cost at Brescia University will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Brescia University. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $30,450 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $10,215 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Brescia University.
Brescia University is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. 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 Brescia University is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,050 | |
| Out-of-state | $1,050 |
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 Brescia University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,500 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,728/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,824 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,324 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. 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 $3,000 in supply costs at Brescia University, leaving about $2,000 out of pocket.
