Veterans Typically Attend Lee University for no More Than $2,455 in Tuition

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Lee University. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Item	Amount
Veteran tuition & fees	$22,690
Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit	$20,235
Tuition out of pocket	$2,455

Private College Tuition Exceeds the GI Bill® Cap

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Lee University.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

There is no record that Lee University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$120
Out-of-state	$120

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 Lee University.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$9,340
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,818/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$14,544
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$5,204

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 Lee University run about $1,250, leaving about $250 out of pocket.
