by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at SWC Santa Fe? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
There is no record that SWC Santa Fe participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program in the latest federal data. If you need benefits beyond the Post-9/11 cap, ask the schools veteran services office whether any programs participate.
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 SWC Santa Fe.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,871/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $22,968 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
These figures show the GI Bill® and DoD Tuition Assistance dollars veterans and service members actually used at SWC Santa Fe.
