by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Pace University will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Pace University. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $51,424 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $31,189 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Pace University.
Pace University is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. About 107 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Pace University is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $620 |  |
| Out-of-state | $620 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Pace University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $25,876 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $5,196/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $41,568 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $15,692 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
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 Pace University run about $800, so the stipend covers them in full.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Pace University.
In the latest reporting year, about 153 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $3,346,633.
