by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Gordon will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Gordon. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $3,475 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $3,475 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Gordon.
Gordon is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Gordon is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,012 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,012 | |
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 Gordon.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $6,230 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,644/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,152 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $6,922 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Gordon estimates these costs at about $1,350, leaving about $350 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Gordon.
Approximately 27 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $66,753.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |

| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 22 | $68,619 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
