Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.

Your Living Expenses Are Likely 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 Hartwick.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$6,000
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,728/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,824
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$7,824

The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Hartwick run about $700, so the stipend covers them in full.
