by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at SUNY Sullivan? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending SUNY Sullivan. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $6,288 |

For public schools, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers the full in-state tuition and fees, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at SUNY Sullivan.
Federal data does not indicate that SUNY Sullivan currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether SUNY Sullivan is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $34 |  |
| Out-of-state | $34 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at SUNY Sullivan.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,935/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,480 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,480 |
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 SUNY Sullivan run about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
