by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Endicott for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? 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 Endicott. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $39,212 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $18,977 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Endicott.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Endicott College and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. Roughly 13 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Endicott is below that cap.

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 Endicott.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|

| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,755/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $38,040 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $23,865 |
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.
