Your Living Expenses Are Only Partially Covered

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 Halifax Community College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$13,050
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,476/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$11,808
Estimated shortfall to cover yourself	$1,242

Living costs here run above the housing allowance, so plan to cover the difference from savings or other income. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Book and Supply Stipend

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $2,000 in supply costs at Halifax Community College, leaving about $1,000 out of pocket.
