by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at CCCTI? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending CCCTI. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $2,537 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $2,537 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at CCCTI.
There is no record that CCCTI participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 CCCTI falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $82 |  |
| Out-of-state | $82 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at CCCTI.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,700 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,644/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,152 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,452 |
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.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,900 in supply costs at CCCTI, leaving about $900 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at CCCTI.
In the latest reporting year, about 29 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $32,251.
