How much of the cost at The Christ College will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending The Christ College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $16,394 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $16,394 |

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at The Christ College.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
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.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether The Christ College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,243 | |
| Out-of-state | $1,243 |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at The Christ College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,100 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,277/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,216 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,116 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; The Christ College estimates these costs at about $1,800, leaving about $800 out of pocket.
