by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Career Technical Institute will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 Career Technical Institute. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $19,035 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $19,035 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Career Technical Institute.
There is no record that Career Technical Institute participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Career Technical Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,075/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,600 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. 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 Career Technical Institute run about $0, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Career Technical Institute.
In the latest reporting year, about 12 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $230,952.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 13 | $158,834 | $12,218 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 13 | $158,834 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
