Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Ilisagvik College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$13,000
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,856/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$22,848
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$9,848

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.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Ilisagvik College estimates these costs at about $800, so the stipend covers them in full.
