by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at NCMC will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 NCMC. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $8,147 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $8,147 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at NCMC.
Federal data does not indicate that NCMC currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at NCMC falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $33 |  |
| Out-of-state | $33 | |
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 NCMC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,736 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,692/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,536 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $800 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; NCMC estimates these costs at about $2,500, leaving about $1,500 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at NCMC.
Roughly 15 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $53,171.
