by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Miles College will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Miles College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $12,714 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $12,714 |

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at Miles College.
There is no record that Miles College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Miles College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,550 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,550 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Miles College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,845 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,229/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,832 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $6,987 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Miles College estimates these costs at about $250, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Miles College.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 10 | $122,566 | $12,257 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 10 | $122,566 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
