by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at SBSTM will the G.I. Bill® cover? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
St Bernard’s School of Theology and Ministry is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at SBSTM.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,202/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,616 |
This allowance is paid while you are in school to help with housing and living expenses. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to SBSTM.
Approximately 2 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $12,840.
