by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at LTI Sharon? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending LTI Sharon. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $11,470 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $11,470 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at LTI Sharon.
Federal data does not indicate that LTI Sharon currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at LTI Sharon.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $3,240 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,509/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,072 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $8,832 |
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.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; LTI Sharon estimates these costs at about $965, so the stipend covers them in full.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at LTI Sharon.
Roughly 7 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $69,889.
