How much of the cost at CMN 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 CMN. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $6,200 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $6,200 |
| 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 CMN.
Federal data does not indicate that CMN 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.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether CMN 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 CMN.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,262 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,533/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,264 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,002 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. 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; CMN estimates these costs at about $812, so the stipend covers them in full.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at CMN.
Roughly 5 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $19,959.
