POST-9/11 GI BILL BENEFITS COVERAGE AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL To determine how much of your tuition and fees we’ll cover at a public school, you’ll need this information: * How much the school you


want to attend charges for in-state tuition and fees * Whether the school you want to attend offers the in-state tuition rate to Veterans who live out-of-state * What percentage of Post-9/11


GI Bill benefits you’re eligible for Find out how we determine your percentage of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits IN-STATE TUITION AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL If you want to attend a public school in the


state where you live, the school will offer you in-state tuition. Your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits will cover you at the percentage you’re eligible for. EXAMPLE: If the in-state tuition at


your public school is $22,000, the amount we’ll cover depends on the percentage you’re entitled to. IF YOU’RE ENTITLED TO 100% of your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, we’ll cover the full cost


of tuition and fees: $22,000. IF YOU’RE ENTITLED TO 70% of your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, we’ll cover $15,400 of your tuition and fees. You would be responsible for the remaining $6,600


(22,000 x .70 = 15,400).   IN-STATE TUITION FOR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS UNDER THE VETERANS CHOICE ACT If you want to attend an out-of-state public school that offers VA-approved programs,


under the Veterans Choice Act, the school must offer you the in-state rate. Your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits will cover you at the percentage you’re eligible for.  Learn more about in-state


tuition rates under the Veterans Choice Act OUT-OF-STATE TUITION AT A PUBLIC SCHOOL If you want to attend an out-of-state public school that doesn’t offer in-state rates to Veterans, the


school will charge the out-of-state tuition rate. Your Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits will cover you at the percentage you’re eligible for only up to the amount of the in-state tuition rate.


You’ll be responsible for the remaining amount. EXAMPLE: The school you want to attend is in a different state from where you live. The school's out-of-state tuition is $24,000.


In-state tuition is $15,000. We’ll cover $15,000 of your tuition. You would be responsible for the remaining $9,000. If you qualify for the Yellow Ribbon Program, you may be able to get


additional payments to help you cover the remaining amount. Learn about the Yellow Ribbon Program
