Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Hilbert College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

Tuition out of pocket	$11,915

Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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 Hilbert College.

Hilbert College Participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program

Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Hilbert College and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. Roughly 11 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.

Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Hilbert College is below that cap.

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

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Hilbert College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$8,120
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,169/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$17,352
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$9,232

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

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 Hilbert College run about $0, so the stipend covers them in full.
