Veterans Typically Attend Columbia College for no More Than $1,390

Veteran Sticker Price$33,359
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits$31,969

Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Columbia College will be fully covered. You will not need to rely on a Yellow Ribbon award or institutional aid to cover these costs.

Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*$18,425

*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 Columbia 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.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

  • Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Columbia College thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $1,132. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.
