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 NEO A&M College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,350 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,431/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,448 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $98 |
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 NEO A&M College run about $1,550, leaving about $550 out of pocket.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to NEO A&M College.
