There is no record that SWIHA participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.

Monthly Housing Allowance for Veterans

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 SWIHA.

Book and Supply Stipend

With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $1,000 in supply costs at SWIHA, so the stipend covers them in full.
