by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Greensboro College? 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 Greensboro College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $20,400 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $165 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Greensboro College.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Greensboro College and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Greensboro College compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Greensboro College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,600 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,884/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,072 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,472 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,600 in supply costs at Greensboro College, leaving about $600 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Greensboro College.
