Private College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at City Tech.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

City Tech is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at City Tech falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$205
Out-of-state	$205

Housing Allowance Coverage

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at City Tech.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$21,788
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$5,196/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$41,568
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$19,780

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Books & Supplies Coverage

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; City Tech estimates these costs at about $1,500, leaving about $500 out of pocket.
