by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Northeastern Seminary? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Northeastern Seminary participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
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 Northeastern Seminary.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,202/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,616 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Northeastern Seminary.
Roughly 2 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $7,428.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 1 | $5,244 | $5,244 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 1 | $5,244 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
