Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

At public institutions the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays in-state tuition and fees in full, meaning most eligible veterans pay no tuition at Forsyth Tech.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

Forsyth Tech is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Forsyth Tech.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$7,991
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,884/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$15,072
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$7,081

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

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 Forsyth Tech run about $1,700, leaving about $700 out of pocket.
