by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at FST? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
FST is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 FST.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,110/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $32,880 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at FST.
In the latest reporting year, about 2 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $34,890.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
