by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Southeast Health? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
The table below compares the guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit to the cost of attending Southeast Health. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $11,691 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $11,691 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Because tuition is at or below the annual Post-9/11 benefit, the GI Bill® covers it in full at Southeast Health.
There is no record that Southeast Health participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Southeast Health is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $28 |  |
| Out-of-state | $28 | |
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 Southeast Health.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $11,644 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,665/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $13,320 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $1,676 |
The benefit generally more than covers off-campus living costs here. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at Southeast Health run about $1,971, leaving about $971 out of pocket.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at Southeast Health.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 9 | $76,201 | $8,467 |
| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 9 | $76,201 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
