by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at LECOM will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
There is no record that LECOM participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. 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). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at LECOM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,509/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,072 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at LECOM.
Approximately 24 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $538,818.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|

| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 20 | $471,160 | — |
