How much of the cost at MACC will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at MACC. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $6,540 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $6,540 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Public-college veterans generally have their entire in-state tuition paid by the Post-9/11 GI Bill® at MACC.
MACC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. 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 MACC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $40 | |
| Out-of-state | $40 |
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 MACC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,544 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,431/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,448 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,904 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; MACC estimates these costs at about $872, so the stipend covers them in full.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at MACC.
In the latest reporting year, about 37 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $92,572.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 40 | $135,304 | $3,383 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 40 | $135,304 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 4 | $8,255 | $2,064 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 4 | $8,255 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
