Attend Imperial Valley College as a Veteran With Little to No Tuition Out of Pocket

Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at IVC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at IVC.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

IVC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$22
Out-of-state	$22

Your Living Expenses Are Only Partially Covered

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 IVC.

Expect to make up the shortfall between the housing benefit and actual living costs. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 IVC run about $938, so the stipend covers them in full.

GI Bill® and Tuition Assistance Paid at Imperial Valley College
