by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at UTI Sacramento will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at UTI Sacramento. See the living-expense and book sections below for those benefits.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $42,750 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $20,235 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $22,515 |
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® limits the annual tuition benefit to roughly $20,235, so tuition beyond that is out of pocket (or covered by Yellow Ribbon) at UTI Sacramento.
Universal Technical Institute of Northern California Inc is a Yellow Ribbon school: the institution and the VA jointly fund tuition that exceeds the GI Bill® cap. Roughly 6 students used Yellow Ribbon benefits here in the latest reporting year.
Seat counts and matching amounts change by program each year; verify the details with the schools military and veteran services team.
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 UTI Sacramento.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,997/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $23,976 |
The Monthly Housing Allowance is paid for the months you are enrolled and is meant to offset off-campus living costs. The MHA is based on the school’s ZIP code and is paid at the full-time rate for resident students.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® pays a books-and-supplies stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Estimated book and supply costs at UTI Sacramento run about $630, so the stipend covers them in full.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to UTI Sacramento.
