Attend Rhode Island College as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $762

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Rhode Island College by at least $762.

Public College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

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

Veteran Tuition And Fees	$10,260
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$10,260
Total In Your Pocket	-$0
*Note: The tuition benefit is capped at the lessor of the actual tuition charged to you or $20,235.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.

Yellow Ribbon Participation Could Not Be Determined

Unfortunately, it looks like Rhode Island College does not participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you will have to pay some tuition out of pocket unless you qualify for other financial aid.

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 $347, Rhode Island College falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$347 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$856 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Rhode Island College to see if that policy is true for part-time students as well.

Your Living Expenses Likely Covered

After applying eight months of your assumed MHA against what Rhode Island College thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential credit in your favor of $962. It is possible that your living expenses will be more than covered!

Off Campus Living Expenses	$16,070
Post-9/11 Benefit	$17,032

A MHA of $2,129 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.
