by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Red Lake Nation College? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Red Lake Nation College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
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 Red Lake Nation College falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $425 |  |
| Out-of-state | $425 | |
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 Red Lake Nation College run about $1,385, leaving about $385 out of pocket.
