by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Bryn Mawr 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 Bryn Mawr. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $62,560 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $42,325 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Bryn Mawr.
Bryn Mawr College is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. In the most recent year, about 18 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Bryn Mawr is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,420 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,420 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Bryn Mawr.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $18,690 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,682/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,456 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,766 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Bryn Mawr run about $1,000, 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 Bryn Mawr.
Approximately 18 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $402,231.
