by our College Data Analytics TeamWill you go to SCNM for free thanks to the G.I. Bill®? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
SCNM is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at SCNM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,514/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $20,112 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to SCNM.
Approximately 16 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $216,928.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 31 | $529,444 | $17,079 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 31 | $529,444 | — |
GI Bill® dollars are paid on the veterans behalf, while DoD Tuition Assistance supports active-duty service members.
