by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Charleston Law 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.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Charleston School of Law and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. About 9 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Charleston Law.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,529/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,232 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Charleston Law.
Approximately 22 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $417,638.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 15 | $511,052 | $34,070 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 15 | $511,052 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
