Expect Roughly $6,645 in Tuition Out of Pocket at Hannibal-LaGrange University

The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending HLGU. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at HLGU.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that HLGU participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at HLGU compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$420
Out-of-state	$420

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at HLGU.

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Books & Supplies Coverage

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 HLGU run about $1,200, leaving about $200 out of pocket.
