by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to MTSA for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
There is no record that MTSA 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. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at MTSA.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,388/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,104 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to MTSA.
In the latest reporting year, about 6 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $54,762.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 4 | $56,916 | $14,229 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 4 | $56,916 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
