Veterans Typically Attend California Institute of Technology for no More Than $28,087

If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend California Institute of Technology should not be more than $28,087.

Veteran Sticker Price$74,970
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits$46,883
Total Out Of Pocket$28,087

Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by California Institute of Technology will not be fully covered. California Institute of Technology charges $54,600 a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235. In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Veteran Tuition And Fees$54,600
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$20,235
Total Out Of Pocket$34,365
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.
Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While California Institute of Technology participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at California Institute of Technology. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

  • Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

We wanted to talk to you about the per credit fees at California Institute of Technology and whether or not they fall below the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel. This information was not available.

Your Living Expenses Likely Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what California Institute of Technology thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential credit in your favor of $6,706. It is possible that your living expenses will be more than covered!

Post-9/11 Benefit$1,000
