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 MSC Southeast.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|

| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,728/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,824 |
| Estimated shortfall to cover yourself | $4,090 |
Living costs here run above the housing allowance, so plan to cover the difference from savings or other income. 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 MSC Southeast run about $2,000, leaving about $1,000 out of pocket.
