Attend Purchase College as a Veteran and Walk Away With at Least $8,788

Thanks to the Post-9/11 GI Bill® (assuming you fully qualify), we expect your yearly benefits to exceed your cost to attend Purchase College by at least $8,788.

Veteran Sticker Price	$28,661
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefits	$37,449
Total In Your Pocket	$8,788

Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

If you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Purchase College will be fully covered. You will not need to rely on a Yellow Ribbon award or institutional aid to cover these costs.

Veteran Tuition And Fees	$8,953
Guaranteed Post-9/11 Benefit*	$8,953
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 Purchase 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 $295, Purchase College falls above the tuition assistance cap of $250 for active duty personnel.

Below Cap for State Residents?	$295 per credit
Below Cap for Non Residents (Out of State)?	$708 per credit

Almost all public colleges treat full-time non-resident veterans as in-state students. You should check with Purchase 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 Purchase College thinks your living expenses should be, we see a potential credit in your favor of $9,028. It is possible that your living expenses will be more than covered!

Off Campus Living Expenses	$18,468
Post-9/11 Benefit	$27,496
Total In Your Pocket	$9,028

A MHA of $3,437 is likely the largest benefit paid directly to you.

Your Books and Supplies are Not Fully Covered

Your book stipend of $1000 will not cover what Purchase College estimates your expenses to be ($1,240).

Supplies Expenses	$1,240
Post-9/11 Benefit	$1,000
Total Out Of Pocket	$240
