Will you go to Reinhardt University for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? 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 Reinhardt University. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $28,420 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $8,185 |
Because the Post-9/11 tuition benefit is capped near $20,235 per year, tuition above the cap is the veterans responsibility at Reinhardt University.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at Reinhardt University.

| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,610/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,880 |
