Veterans Can Attend The College of the Florida Keys With Tuition Fully Covered

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at CFK. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$3,279
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$3,279
Tuition out of pocket	$0

Private College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at CFK.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Federal data does not indicate that CFK currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at CFK compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$0
Out-of-state	$0

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 CFK.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$22,138
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$4,035/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$32,280
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$10,142

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.

Book and Supply Stipend

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 CFK run about $1,633, leaving about $633 out of pocket.
