by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at CTI? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending CTI. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $7,714 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $7,714 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at CTI.
Federal data does not indicate that CTI currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at CTI.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,912 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,527/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,216 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,304 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
