by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to SHSST for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
There is no record that SHSST 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). The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at SHSST.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $15,164 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,460/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,680 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $4,516 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
This is the real volume of GI Bill® and military tuition benefits paid out at SHSST.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |

| GI Bill® — graduate | 0 | $0 | — |
