by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at The Landing School will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending The Landing School. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $27,700 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $7,465 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at The Landing School.
The Landing School is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at The Landing School.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,600 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,291/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $26,328 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $13,728 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; The Landing School estimates these costs at about $2,043, leaving about $1,043 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at The Landing School.
