by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Center for Advanced Legal Studies will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 Center for Advanced Legal Studies. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Center for Advanced Legal Studies.
Federal data does not indicate that Center for Advanced Legal Studies currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Center for Advanced Legal Studies.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|

The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Center for Advanced Legal Studies estimates these costs at about $900, so the stipend covers them in full.
