*California tuition benefits are zero because California does not charge tuition fees to their in-state undergraduates. More can be read about this here. Military students benefiting from the Post 9/11 GI Bill are strongly encouraged to look at something besides California, as their zero tuition rate makes it difficult to attend most colleges without student loans, even with the Yellow Ribbon Program fully implemented.
