by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Norco College for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Norco College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $1,420 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $1,420 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at Norco College.
There is no record that Norco College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Norco College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $48 |  |
| Out-of-state | $68 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Norco College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $22,312 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,402/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $27,216 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,904 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. 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 $1,440 in supply costs at Norco College, leaving about $440 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Norco College.
