by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at MSM will the G.I. Bill® cover? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Federal data does not indicate that MSM currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at MSM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,490/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,920 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to MSM.
Approximately 15 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $176,772.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 17 | $428,848 | $25,226 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 17 | $428,848 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
