How much will attending Pillar College cost you? Below you'll find a breakdown of the G.I. Bill® tuition assistance and more for Pillar.

Why is the G.I. Bill® Important?

G.I. Bill® Tuition assistance is limited. Check out below if Pillar's tuition is covered. Be sure to check out the G.I. Bill® information for each school you're considering because each school's coverage varies.

Attend Pillar College as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $5,387

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Pillar College by at least $5,387.

Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Pillar College will not be fully covered. Pillar College charges $22,756 a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235. In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Yellow Ribbon Program

It appears as though Pillar College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, but we could not determine if there are restrictions of this participation. 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 so check with the college.

Your Books and Supplies are Not Fully Covered

Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what Pillar College estimates your expenses to be ($1,200).
