Yellow Ribbon Program Status Not Reported

There is no record that Louisiana Tech participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.

Active-Duty Tuition Assistance and Per-Credit Cost

For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Louisiana Tech is below that cap.

Residency	Per-credit charge	Below $250 cap?
In-state	$0
Out-of-state	$0

Your Living Expenses Are Only Partially Covered

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 Louisiana Tech.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$10,023
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,242/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$9,936
Estimated shortfall to cover yourself	$87

The housing benefit does not fully cover estimated living costs at this school — budget for the gap. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.

Your Books and Supplies Are Likely Covered

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 Louisiana Tech run about $1,590, leaving about $590 out of pocket.
