by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at New College? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending New College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |

Public-college veterans generally have their entire in-state tuition paid by the Post-9/11 GI Bill® at New College.

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 New College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $23,197 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,832/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $22,656 |
| Estimated shortfall to cover yourself | $541 |
The housing benefit does not fully cover estimated living costs at this school — budget for the gap. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 New College run about $1,200, leaving about $200 out of pocket.
