At Davidson-Davie Community College, the GI Bill Covers Veteran Tuition in Full

The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending DCCC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$1,978
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$1,978

Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at DCCC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that DCCC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

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 DCCC falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$78
Out-of-state	$78

Housing Allowance Falls Short of Living Costs

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at DCCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$12,626
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,560/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$12,480
Estimated shortfall to cover yourself	$146

Living costs here run above the housing allowance, so plan to cover the difference from savings or other income. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at DCCC run about $1,290, leaving about $290 out of pocket.
