by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at PFIC will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
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.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at PFIC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,075/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,600 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to PFIC.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 0 | $0 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD TA — graduate | 0 | $0 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
