Veterans Typically Attend Hawaii Medical College for no More Than $5,692 in Tuition

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Hawaii Medical College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$25,927
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$20,235
Tuition out of pocket	$5,692

Private Tuition Above the Post-9/11 Benefit Cap

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 Hawaii Medical College.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Hawaii Medical College 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.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty 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 Hawaii Medical College compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$0
Out-of-state	$0

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. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Hawaii Medical College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$14,580
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,636/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$29,088
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$14,508

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Hawaii Medical College estimates these costs at about $1,184, leaving about $184 out of pocket.
