Veterans Can Attend Los Angeles Valley College With Tuition Fully Covered

Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending LAVC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.

Private Tuition Fully Covered for Veterans

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

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

LAVC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether LAVC is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$42
Out-of-state	$42

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 LAVC.

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Books & Supplies Coverage

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; LAVC estimates these costs at about $938, so the stipend covers them in full.
