by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Eastern Virginia Medical School will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Eastern Virginia Medical School is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $9,420 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,448/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,584 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $10,164 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Eastern Virginia Medical School.
Roughly 67 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $1,493,314.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 59 | $1,727,020 | $29,272 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 59 | $1,727,020 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
