The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending QC. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at QC.
There is no record that QC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at QC compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $418 |  |
| Out-of-state | $418 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at QC.
| 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 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
