by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Luther Seminary for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
There is no record that Luther Seminary participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Luther Seminary.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $2,367 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,499/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,992 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $17,625 |
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.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Luther Seminary.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 4 | $40,228 | $10,057 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 4 | $40,228 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
