Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Saint Michael’s. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Saint Michael’s.

Saint Michael’s College Participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program

Saint Michael’s 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. In the most recent year, about 2 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.

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.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$1,250
Out-of-state	$1,250

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 Saint Michael’s.

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.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Saint Michael’s estimates these costs at about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.

Veteran Education Benefit Dollars at Saint Michael’s College
