by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Pontifical College Josephinum will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Pontifical College Josephinum. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $27,829 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $7,594 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Pontifical College Josephinum.
Federal data does not indicate that Pontifical College Josephinum currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 Pontifical College Josephinum.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,456 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,908/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,264 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,808 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Pontifical College Josephinum estimates these costs at about $1,800, leaving about $800 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Pontifical College Josephinum.
Roughly 2 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $12,948.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
