by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at IVCC? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at IVCC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $13,835 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $13,835 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at IVCC.
There is no record that IVCC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether IVCC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $11 |  |
| Out-of-state | $11 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at IVCC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $6,750 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,644/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,152 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $6,402 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
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 IVCC run about $1,400, leaving about $400 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at IVCC.
Approximately 31 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $69,465.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 16 | $52,206 | $3,263 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 16 | $52,206 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 1 | $380 | $380 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 1 | $380 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
