by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to SIT for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
SIT Graduate Institute is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
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 SIT.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,968/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,744 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. 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 SIT.
