by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Lane Community College will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Lane Community College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $5,879 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $5,879 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Lane Community College.
Lane Community College 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 Lane Community College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Lane Community College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,935 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,205/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,640 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,705 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Lane Community College estimates these costs at about $1,500, leaving about $500 out of pocket.
