Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Interior Designers Institute.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$17,784
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,864/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$30,912
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$13,128

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Interior Designers Institute estimates these costs at about $1,510, leaving about $510 out of pocket.
