by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Davis College? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Davis College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $17,500 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $17,500 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Davis College.
Federal data does not indicate that Davis College currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Davis College compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $450 |  |
| Out-of-state | $450 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Davis College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,380 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,818/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $14,544 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $7,164 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 Davis College run about $600, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Davis College.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 1 | $15,665 | $15,665 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 1 | $15,665 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
