by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at SUNY Geneseo? 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 SUNY Geneseo. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $8,966 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $8,966 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at SUNY Geneseo.
Federal data does not indicate that SUNY Geneseo currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at SUNY Geneseo falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $80 |  |
| Out-of-state | $80 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at SUNY Geneseo.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $13,666 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,037/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $16,296 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $2,630 |
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.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,000 in supply costs at SUNY Geneseo, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to SUNY Geneseo.
