Will you go to Institute for Business and Technology for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Institute for Business and Technology. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|

| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $18,530 |

Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Institute for Business and Technology.
There is no record that Institute for Business and Technology participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
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 Institute for Business and Technology.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $4,557/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $36,456 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Institute for Business and Technology estimates these costs at about $1,365, leaving about $365 out of pocket.
