Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at American Musical and Dramatic Academy.

Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,864/mo
