by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Siba will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Here is how the Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit stacks up against the published cost of attending Siba. Living-expense and book benefits are addressed in their own sections below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $12,968 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $12,968 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefit is enough to cover the full tuition and fees at Siba.
Federal data does not indicate that Siba currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
For active-duty students, Tuition Assistance covers up to $250 per credit hour — the indicators below show whether Siba is below that cap.
| Residency | Per-credit charge | Below $250 cap? |
|---|---|---|
| In-state | $0 |  |
| Out-of-state | $0 | |
Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. Here is how that benefit compares to the estimated cost of living at Siba.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $12,563 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,376/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $19,008 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $6,445 |
For most full-time students the housing allowance covers the cost of living off campus, with money left over. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
With a Post-9/11 book stipend of up to $1,000 per year, the estimated $750 in supply costs at Siba, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Siba.
Approximately 2 students drew Post-9/11 GI Bill® tuition benefits totaling $28,515.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |

| GI Bill® — undergraduate | 3 | $47,025 | — |
| DoD Tuition Assistance (all) | 0 | $0 | — |
| DoD TA — undergraduate | 0 | $0 | — |
