Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Northeast.

Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

Northeast is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Per-Credit Fees and the Active-Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Northeast compares.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$39
Out-of-state	$39

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Northeast.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$9,500
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,431/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$11,448
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$1,948

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Northeast estimates these costs at about $2,400, leaving about $1,400 out of pocket.
