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 MCC.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

Federal data does not indicate that MCC 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.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

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

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?

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. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at MCC.

Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$7,767
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,869/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$14,952
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$7,185

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Books & Supplies Coverage

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 MCC run about $1,380, leaving about $380 out of pocket.
