by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at St. Anselm College? 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 St. Anselm College. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $46,810 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $26,575 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at St. Anselm College.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Saint Anselm College and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. Roughly 9 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether St. Anselm College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at St. Anselm College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $15,360 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,099/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,792 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,432 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,000 in supply costs at St. Anselm College, so the stipend covers them in full.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at St. Anselm College.
Roughly 14 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $274,969.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |

| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 41 | $939,800 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 0 | $0 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
