by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Wiley College will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Wiley College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.

Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Wiley College.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Wiley University and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
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.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Wiley College compares.

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 Wiley College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $5,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,770/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $14,160 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $9,160 |
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.
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 Wiley College run about $600, so the stipend covers them in full.
