The Post-9/11 GI Bill® caps the annual tuition benefit (about $20,235), so the tuition above that is a gap veterans must cover through Yellow Ribbon, savings, or other aid at Newberry College.

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 Newberry College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,506 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,518/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $12,144 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,638 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Newberry College estimates these costs at about $900, so the stipend covers them in full.
