by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Juilliard? 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 Juilliard. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $56,550 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $36,315 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Juilliard.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, The Juilliard School and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap. In the most recent year, about 3 students received Yellow Ribbon awards 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.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Juilliard is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Juilliard.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $19,260 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $5,196/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $41,568 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $22,308 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Juilliard run about $800, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Juilliard.
In the latest reporting year, about 4 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $83,590.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
