by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Mitchell Tech for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Mitchell Tech. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $7,524 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $7,524 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Mitchell Tech.
Federal data does not indicate that Mitchell Tech currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Mitchell Tech is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $104 |  |
| Out-of-state | $104 | |
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 Mitchell Tech.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $6,800 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,497/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,976 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $5,176 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $700 in supply costs at Mitchell Tech, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Mitchell Tech.
Roughly 27 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $122,977.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 28 | $156,457 | $5,588 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 28 | $156,457 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
