by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Morehouse? 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 Morehouse. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $31,725 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $11,490 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Morehouse.
Federal data does not indicate that Morehouse 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.
Active-duty service members using DoD Tuition Assistance are capped at $250 per credit hour. The chart below shows whether the per-credit charge at Morehouse falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $1,352 |  |
| Out-of-state | $1,352 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Morehouse.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $16,787 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,490/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,920 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,133 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. 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 $2,000 in supply costs at Morehouse, leaving about $1,000 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Morehouse.
