by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at ICAOM? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Through the Yellow Ribbon Program, Institute of Clinical Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine 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.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at ICAOM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,636/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $29,088 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at ICAOM.
Approximately 5 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $65,879.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 7 | $126,011 | $18,002 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 7 | $126,011 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
