by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at NHTI? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending NHTI. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $7,200 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $7,200 |
| 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 NHTI.
There is no record that NHTI participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
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 NHTI falls under that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $25 |  |
| Out-of-state | $25 | |
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 NHTI.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $17,182 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,099/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $24,792 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $7,610 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. 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; NHTI estimates these costs at about $1,400, leaving about $400 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at NHTI.
Approximately 69 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $309,194.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 94 | $253,284 | $2,695 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 94 | $253,284 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 20 | $27,950 | $1,398 |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 20 | $27,950 | — |
GI Bill® benefits follow the veteran; DoD Tuition Assistance is an active-duty benefit paid while serving.
