Will you go to Yuba College for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Yuba College. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $1,128 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $1,128 |
| 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 Yuba College.
Federal data does not indicate that Yuba College currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Yuba College compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 | |
| Out-of-state | $0 |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Yuba College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $16,580 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,111/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,888 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $8,308 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
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 Yuba College run about $1,080, leaving about $80 out of pocket.
