How much of the cost at New England Law will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
New England Law-Boston is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. In the most recent year, about 5 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at New England Law.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,755/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $38,040 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at New England Law.
In the latest reporting year, about 10 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $139,769.
