Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at KBOCC falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at KBOCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$5,120
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,446/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$11,568
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$6,448

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; KBOCC estimates these costs at about $1,266, leaving about $266 out of pocket.
