Housing Allowance Coverage

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at South Coast College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$20,232
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$3,864/mo

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
