by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y El Caribe will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Federal data does not indicate that Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y El Caribe currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y El Caribe.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,222/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,776 |
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.
