by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at AJMLS? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA. About 5 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 AJMLS.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,490/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,920 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at AJMLS.
In the latest reporting year, about 13 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $231,756.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 12 | $308,157 | $25,680 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 12 | $308,157 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
