by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to Pacific School of Religion for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Pacific School of Religion is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 Pacific School of Religion.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $7,380 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,774/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,192 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $22,812 |
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.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Pacific School of Religion.
Approximately 2 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $32,143.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 2 | $30,569 | $15,285 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 2 | $30,569 | — |
These are federal education benefits — the Post-9/11 GI Bill® for veterans and DoD Tuition Assistance for active-duty members.
