by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Emmanuel College will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Emmanuel College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $23,664 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $3,429 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Emmanuel College.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Emmanuel University and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
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 Emmanuel College falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Emmanuel College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,728 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,431/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,448 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,720 |
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.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Emmanuel College.
Roughly 13 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $148,248.
