by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Fuller will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
There is no record that Fuller participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 Fuller.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $18,352 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,514/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,112 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,760 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Fuller.
