by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at NSC will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending NSC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $6,368 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $6,368 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Public-college veterans generally have their entire in-state tuition paid by the Post-9/11 GI Bill® at NSC.
Federal data does not indicate that NSC currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. 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 NSC is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $13 |  |
| Out-of-state | $13 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at NSC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,979 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,223/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,784 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $6,805 |
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.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,300 in supply costs at NSC, leaving about $300 out of pocket.
