by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to OCOM for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Federal data does not indicate that OCOM currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
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 OCOM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,460/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,680 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
