by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at La Roche? 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 La Roche. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $33,120 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $12,885 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at La Roche.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, La Roche University and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. In the most recent year, about 2 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.
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 La Roche is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $92 |  |
| Out-of-state | $92 | |
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 La Roche.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,862 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,307/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,456 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,594 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,300 in supply costs at La Roche, leaving about $300 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at La Roche.
Approximately 19 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $345,850.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
