by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at NRI Institute will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at NRI Institute. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $49,816 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $29,581 |
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 NRI Institute.
There is no record that NRI Institute participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 NRI Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,474/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $27,792 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. 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; NRI Institute estimates these costs at about $7,200, leaving about $6,200 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at NRI Institute.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 1 | $1,480 | $1,480 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 1 | $1,480 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
