by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Kentucky Christian University will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Kentucky Christian University. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $25,000 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $4,765 |
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 Kentucky Christian University.
Kentucky Christian University is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Kentucky Christian University is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $600 |  |
| Out-of-state | $600 | |
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 Kentucky Christian University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,400 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,464/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,712 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,312 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 Kentucky Christian University run about $1,400, leaving about $400 out of pocket.
