by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Saybrook University will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Saybrook University participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Saybrook University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $3,864/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $30,912 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. 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 Saybrook University.
Approximately 24 veterans received Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition payments of $332,013.

|---|---|---|---|
