by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at West Coast Ultrasound Institute 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 West Coast Ultrasound Institute. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $19,100 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $19,100 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at West Coast Ultrasound Institute.
There is no record that West Coast Ultrasound Institute participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at West Coast Ultrasound Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $19,431 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,864/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,912 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $11,481 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. 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; West Coast Ultrasound Institute estimates these costs at about $821, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to West Coast Ultrasound Institute.
Approximately 32 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $496,217.
