by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Marymount for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Marymount. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $39,050 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $18,815 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Marymount.
Federal data does not indicate that Marymount currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Marymount is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $100 |  |
| Out-of-state | $100 | |
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 Marymount.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,775 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,075/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,600 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,825 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $2,000 in supply costs at Marymount, leaving about $1,000 out of pocket.
