Why is the G.I. Bill® Important?

Veterans Typically Attend Clemson University for no More Than $4,402

If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Clemson University should not be more than $4,402.

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you live in South Carolina and you qualify for full benefits, your tuition and fees will be covered by your Post-9/11 benefits. If you live outside of South Carolina and it has been less than three years since your discharge Clemson University will consider you an in-state student anyways and you will be fully covered.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations

If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award. While Clemson University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.

Clemson University awarded a total of $46,866 in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year. This was split among 15 veterans for an average award of $3,124 ($6,249 after government matching).

The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program at Clemson University. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.

Questions to Ask the Admissions Department

• Which programs and majors (if any) participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program and how do I apply?

Per Credit Fees and the Active Duty Tuition Assistance Cap

With a per credit charge for in-state students of $657, Clemson University falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$657 per credit

Your Living Expenses May Not Be Fully Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Clemson University thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential shortfall of $4,214. It is possible that your actual living expenses will be covered if you live more frugally than what the college expects.

Your Books and Supplies are Not Fully Covered

Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what Clemson University estimates your expenses to be ($1,188).
