Will you go to Wade College 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 Wade College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Wade College.

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Wade College compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 | |

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Wade College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,936 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,652/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,216 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $11,280 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. 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; Wade College estimates these costs at about $0, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Wade College.
