by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to CDSP for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Church Divinity School of the Pacific 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.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
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 CDSP.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $5,680 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,774/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,192 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $24,512 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
