by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at MSJC? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending MSJC. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $1,406 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $1,406 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at MSJC.
There is no record that MSJC participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether MSJC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $68 |  |
| Out-of-state | $68 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at MSJC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $15,500 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,402/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $27,216 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $11,716 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
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 MSJC run about $1,919, leaving about $919 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at MSJC.
Roughly 225 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $104,152.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |

| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
