by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at TUC? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Touro University California is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. In the most recent year, about 1 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.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at TUC compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $505 |  |
| Out-of-state | $505 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at TUC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,387/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $27,096 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to TUC.
Roughly 9 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $125,507.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 6 | $133,086 | $22,181 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 6 | $133,086 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
