Attend Florida Gulf Coast University as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $1,000

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Florida Gulf Coast University by at least $1,000.

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in Florida and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of Florida and it has been less than three years since your discharge Florida Gulf Coast University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Unfortunately, it looks like Florida Gulf Coast University does not participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you will have to pay some tuition out of pocket unless you qualify for other financial aid.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

• Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?
