by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Florida Education Institute will the G.I. Bill® cover? 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 Florida Education Institute. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $18,141 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $18,141 |
| 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 Florida Education Institute.
There is no record that Florida Education Institute participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. 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). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Florida Education Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,612/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $28,896 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Florida Education Institute estimates these costs at about $400, so the stipend covers them in full.
