by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at College of Athens will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at College of Athens. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $9,050 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $9,050 |
| 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 College of Athens.
Federal data does not indicate that College of Athens currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether College of Athens is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $200 |  |
| Out-of-state | $200 | |
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 College of Athens.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,800 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,902/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,216 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $5,416 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $800 in supply costs at College of Athens, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to College of Athens.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 1 | $5,510 | $5,510 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 1 | $5,510 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 0 | $0 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
