by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Career Care Institute? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Career Care Institute. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $31,582 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $11,347 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Career Care Institute.
Career Care Institute is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Career Care Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,691/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,528 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. 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 $2,500 in supply costs at Career Care Institute, leaving about $1,500 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Career Care Institute.
Roughly 10 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $158,667.
