by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at PMI Aurora? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at PMI Aurora. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $17,158 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $17,158 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at PMI Aurora.
There is no record that PMI Aurora participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
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 PMI Aurora.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,982/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $23,856 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
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 PMI Aurora run about $867, so the stipend covers them in full.
