by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at GHC will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending GHC. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $4,751 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $4,751 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at GHC.
GHC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at GHC falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $19 |  |
| Out-of-state | $19 | |
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 GHC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,966 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,860/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $14,880 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,914 |
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.
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 GHC run about $1,125, leaving about $125 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at GHC.
In the latest reporting year, about 17 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $48,114.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 17 | $58,873 | $3,463 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 17 | $58,873 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
