Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Southeast Tech.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$8,404
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$1,665/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$13,320
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$4,916

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.

Book and Supply Stipend

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $2,400 in supply costs at Southeast Tech, leaving about $1,400 out of pocket.
