Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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 Gordon College.

Gordon College Participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program

Gordon College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.

Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Gordon College is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$600
Out-of-state	$600

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Gordon College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$12,650
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,429/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$27,432
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$14,782

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 Gordon College run about $800, so the stipend covers them in full.
