by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Evergreen for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Evergreen. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $8,999 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $8,999 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Evergreen.
Federal data does not indicate that Evergreen currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Evergreen is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
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 Evergreen.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $16,451 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,631/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,048 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,597 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. 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 $900 in supply costs at Evergreen, so the stipend covers them in full.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Evergreen.
