by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at TCC? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Texas Chiropractic College Foundation Inc 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. About 1 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
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 TCC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,259/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,072 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to TCC.
Roughly 7 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $89,806.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 2 | $55,031 | $27,516 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 2 | $55,031 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
