by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at St Joseph School of Nursing will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 Joseph School of Nursing. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $22,978 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $2,743 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at St Joseph School of Nursing.
Federal data does not indicate that St Joseph School of Nursing currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether St Joseph School of Nursing is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $2,688 |  |
| Out-of-state | $2,688 | |
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 St Joseph School of Nursing.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,099/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,792 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $17,792 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
