by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at LTCC will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at LTCC. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $1,131 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $1,131 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at LTCC.
There is no record that LTCC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. 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 LTCC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $5 |  |
| Out-of-state | $5 | |
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 LTCC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $17,769 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,105/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,840 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $7,071 |
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 LTCC run about $1,971, leaving about $971 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at LTCC.
Roughly 9 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $6,005.
