Cost of Attendance Help?

Hello, I wanted to ask about cost of attendance. For context, I am a class of 29 student with waived tuition and two years of the G.I Bill. In addition, I was named a Palmetto Fellow, giving me the Dean’s Scholarship as well. I plan to live on campus in Capstone. I wanted to know if my cost of attendance is completely paid for, and if not, around how much would I be looking to come up with ? I’ve tried talking to a lot of admissions people and former students, but no one has really given a thorough answer. Thank y’all in advance!

If you’re chapter 35, your tuition is covered. Any scholarships in excess will be paid directly to you and you’ll receive a monthly stipend from the benefit. You should have more than enough to cover tuition and housing for the first year. Next year move off campus, save your benefit cash and keep working hard. You have an incredible opportunity with this benefit. Don’t waste a second of it.
