Wondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Arizona Automotive Institute? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Arizona Automotive Institute. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $20,663 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $428 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Arizona Automotive Institute.
There is no record that Arizona Automotive Institute participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Arizona Automotive Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,514/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,112 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
