Private College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at LCCC.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

LCCC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. 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 LCCC compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$420
Out-of-state	$573

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 LCCC.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$10,800
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,400/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$19,200
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$8,400

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; LCCC estimates these costs at about $2,000, leaving about $1,000 out of pocket.
