Your Living Expenses Are Likely Covered

On top of tuition, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA) for the months you are in school. Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at UTHealth.

Item	Amount
Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA)	$2,259/mo
