Private College Tuition Not Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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 Stonehill.

Yellow Ribbon Program Available

Stonehill 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.

Per-Credit Charges vs. the $250 Tuition Assistance Cap

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. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Stonehill.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$12,000
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,795/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$30,360
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$18,360

For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $893 in supply costs at Stonehill, so the stipend covers them in full.
