Attend Cogswell College as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $17,203

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Cogswell College by at least $17,203.

Veteran Sticker Price$37,744
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits$54,947
Total In Your Pocket$17,203

Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Cogswell College will not be fully covered. Cogswell College charges $21,784 a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235. In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Veteran Tuition And Fees$21,784
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$20,235
Total Out Of Pocket$1,549
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.
Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Cogswell College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award so check with the college.

Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in a Yellow Ribbon program.

Cogswell College awarded a total of $42,534 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 10 veterans for an average award of $4,253 ($8,507 after government matching).
