Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at LCCC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Unconfirmed

Federal data does not indicate that LCCC currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at LCCC compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$98
Out-of-state	$98

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at LCCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$7,900
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,611/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$12,888
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$4,988

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Book and Supply Stipend

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 LCCC run about $1,200, leaving about $200 out of pocket.
