The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at MacCormac.
There is no record that MacCormac 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 service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at MacCormac falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,000 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,000 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at MacCormac.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,410 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,225/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $25,800 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $18,390 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; MacCormac estimates these costs at about $1,050, leaving about $50 out of pocket.
