Private College Tuition Covered in Full by the Post-9/11 GI Bill®

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at LCC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that LCC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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 LCC falls under that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$15
Out-of-state	$15

Living Costs Exceed the Housing Allowance

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at LCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$15,200
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,773/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$14,184
Estimated shortfall to cover yourself	$1,016

Expect to make up the shortfall between the housing benefit and actual living costs. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; LCC estimates these costs at about $600, so the stipend covers them in full.
