by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at TSTC? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
TSTC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 TSTC falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,464 in supply costs at TSTC, leaving about $464 out of pocket.
