by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at California Career Institute? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at California Career Institute. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $36,900 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $16,665 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at California Career Institute.
Federal data does not indicate that California Career Institute currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at California Career Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,864/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,912 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. 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 $0 in supply costs at California Career Institute, 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 California Career Institute.
