by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at WWCC? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at WWCC. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $4,250 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $4,250 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at WWCC.
WWCC is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at WWCC compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $36 |  |
| Out-of-state | $36 | |
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at WWCC.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,420 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,596/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,768 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,348 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at WWCC run about $1,500, leaving about $500 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to WWCC.
In the latest reporting year, about 12 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $22,384.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 17 | $36,838 | $2,167 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 17 | $36,838 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
