How much of the cost at Charter College will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Charter College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $18,678 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $18,678 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Charter College.
Federal data does not indicate that Charter College 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.
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 Charter College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $18,168 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,610/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,880 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,712 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
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 Charter College run about $300, so the stipend covers them in full.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Charter College.
