Wondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at YTI? 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 YTI. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $30,688 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $10,453 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at YTI.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, YTI Career Institute-York and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 YTI.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,133/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,064 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $3,491 in supply costs at YTI, leaving about $2,491 out of pocket.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at YTI.
