by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Fisher 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 Fisher College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $35,013 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $14,778 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Fisher College.
Fisher College is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Fisher College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,200 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,200 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Fisher College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,755/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $38,040 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $28,040 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
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 Fisher College run about $2,000, leaving about $1,000 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Fisher College.
