by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at NASCAR Technical Institute? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at NASCAR Technical Institute. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $49,750 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $29,515 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at NASCAR Technical Institute.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, NASCAR Technical Institute and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. About 4 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
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 NASCAR Technical Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,244/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,952 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; NASCAR Technical Institute estimates these costs at about $630, so the stipend covers them in full.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at NASCAR Technical Institute.
Approximately 289 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $4,163,080.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
