by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Keuka College? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Keuka College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $38,000 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $17,765 |
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 Keuka College.
Keuka College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Keuka College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Keuka College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $3,300 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,728/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,824 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $10,524 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Keuka College estimates these costs at about $1,300, leaving about $300 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at Keuka College.
