How much of the cost at Sinte Gleska University will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Sinte Gleska University.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $10,000 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,464/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $11,712 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,712 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
Eligible veterans receive up to $1,000 a year for books and supplies; Sinte Gleska University estimates these costs at about $1,000, so the stipend covers them in full.
