Wondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at SEARK College? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending SEARK College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $4,960 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $4,960 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at SEARK College.
Federal data does not indicate that SEARK College currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether SEARK College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $63 | |
| Out-of-state | $63 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at SEARK College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,431/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,448 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,448 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 SEARK College run about $1,800, leaving about $800 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to SEARK College.
