Will you go to Midwest Institute for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Midwest Institute. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $30,691 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $10,456 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Midwest Institute.

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Midwest Institute.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,376/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,008 |
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.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,696 in supply costs at Midwest Institute, leaving about $696 out of pocket.
