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

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at JCCC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

JCCC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

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 JCCC compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$16
Out-of-state	$16

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at JCCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$13,324
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,049/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$16,392
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$3,068

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.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; JCCC estimates these costs at about $1,560, leaving about $560 out of pocket.
