There is no record that Ner Israel Rabbinical College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Ner Israel Rabbinical College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $17,700 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,667/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $21,336 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,636 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. 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 Ner Israel Rabbinical College run about $250, so the stipend covers them in full.
