by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Homestead Schools? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Homestead Schools. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $35,750 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $15,515 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at Homestead Schools.
Homestead Schools is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Homestead Schools.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,864/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,912 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
