How much of the cost at Richmond School of Health and Technology will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Richmond School of Health and Technology. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
