On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Little Big Horn College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $6,435 |

| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,320 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $6,885 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Little Big Horn College run about $600, so the stipend covers them in full.
