by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Washington College will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Washington College. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $54,356 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $34,121 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Washington College.
Washington College is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. Roughly 4 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
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 Washington College is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,636 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,636 | |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Washington College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $14,888 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,496/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,968 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $5,080 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. 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; Washington College estimates these costs at about $900, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Washington College.
Roughly 14 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $300,533.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 17 | $353,466 | $20,792 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 17 | $353,466 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
