|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $15,978 |

Beyond tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) while you are enrolled. The table compares the housing benefit to estimated living expenses at J-Tech.

|---|---|

| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,349/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $18,792 |
