Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 Panola College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$6,522
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,488/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$11,904
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$5,382

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Book and Supply Stipend

Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Panola College estimates these costs at about $1,500, leaving about $500 out of pocket.
