by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Huertas College for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Huertas College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $8,520 |

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Huertas College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,500 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,900/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,200 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $7,700 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $900 in supply costs at Huertas College, so the stipend covers them in full.
