The Post 911 GI Bill is supposed pay tuition for the highest instate public school which according to this for me is $7,873 at LSU currently. Also, It's supposed to pay up to $19,198.31 for private or foreign colleges or universities. Also that tuition for LSU didn't include summer school. Let's say I decided to go to an out of state public school that cost $5,000 for instate students there and $7,873 for out of state tuition for a full year.

1) In that case should every thing should be even and I pay nothing because i get at least LSU tuition or would they only pay the instate tuition of $5000 and I would have to come up with $2,873 to cover the out of state fee?

2) Either way seems like that $19,198.31 should be the cap for anything, but that's just wishful thinking huh?

3) Finally since I plan on going through the summer, how will that affect the LSU numbers if indeed that is my out of state public school
limit? Meaning Since I plan on being in school for a full 12 months can I add the $1,835 summer tuition to the $7,873 for LSU and really have a limit of $9,708 per year before I have to come out of pocket?

Is your residency determined by the state that you enlisted in?

I also know that certain universities are 'gold ribbon programs' or somesuch thing, where they will match up to a certain amount (as will the government) to make up the difference between the normal pay-out and the cost of attendance.
