by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at DTC will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending DTC. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $6,301 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $6,301 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at DTC.
DTC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. 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 DTC compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
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 DTC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,733 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,521/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,168 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,435 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,577 in supply costs at DTC, leaving about $577 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to DTC.
Approximately 9 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $37,148.

| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 9 | $43,082 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
