by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Hartford Seminary? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Hartford International University for Religion and Peace and the VA share the cost of tuition above the Post-9/11 cap.
Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.
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 Hartford Seminary.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,497 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,769/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $22,152 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $13,655 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
