How much of the cost at Middlebury Institute will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. About 13 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 Middlebury Institute falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $470 | |
| Out-of-state | $470 |
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 Middlebury Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,802 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,405/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $27,240 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $14,438 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Middlebury Institute.
Approximately 23 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $454,606.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 24 | $497,253 | $20,719 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 2 | $54,656 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 22 | $442,597 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
