by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Fresno Institute of Technology? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Fresno Institute of Technology. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $33,474 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $13,239 |
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 Fresno Institute of Technology.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Institute of Technology and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
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 Fresno Institute of Technology.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,997/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $23,976 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Fresno Institute of Technology estimates these costs at about $2,565, leaving about $1,565 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Fresno Institute of Technology.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 78 | $896,154 | $11,489 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 78 | $896,154 | — |
