by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Institute of Medical Careers will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Institute of Medical Careers. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $22,500 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $2,265 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Institute of Medical Careers.
Federal data does not indicate that Institute of Medical Careers currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 Institute of Medical Careers.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,307/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,456 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Institute of Medical Careers.
