by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Rosemont? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Rosemont. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $22,171 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $1,936 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Rosemont.
Rosemont 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.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 Rosemont falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Rosemont.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $13,530 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,682/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,456 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $7,926 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. 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 Rosemont run about $1,400, leaving about $400 out of pocket.
