by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Northeast for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? 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 Northeast. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.

DoD Tuition Assistance pays up to $250 per credit hour for active-duty students; here is how the per-credit charge at Northeast compares.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $20 |  |

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Northeast.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $8,550 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,497/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,976 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $3,426 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
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 Northeast run about $1,211, leaving about $211 out of pocket.
