by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Life West? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Life Chiropractic College West participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA. In the most recent year, about 4 students received Yellow Ribbon awards at this school.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 Life West.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,774/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,192 |
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 Life West.
