Private College Tuition Fully Covered by GI Bill® Benefits

The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at Southern Technical College.

Yellow Ribbon Program Participant

Southern Technical College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA.

Available Yellow Ribbon seats and maximum contributions differ by program and degree level — check with the veteran services office for current limits.

Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

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 Southern Technical College.

Item	Amount
Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year)	$11,799
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,871/mo
Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months)	$22,968
Estimated surplus in your pocket	$11,169

At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
