Wondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Western Technical College? GI Bill® benefits are limited and differ by school, so the specifics matter.
Below is the gap between the Post-9/11 tuition benefit and the cost at Western Technical College. Housing and book benefits are covered separately below.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Veteran tuition & fees | $4,160 |
| Guaranteed Post-9/11 tuition benefit | $4,160 |
| Tuition out of pocket | $0 |
Tuition and fees here fall within the annual Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefit, so eligible veterans typically owe nothing toward tuition at Western Technical College.
Western Technical College is not listed as a Yellow Ribbon participant in current federal reporting. Contact the veteran services office to confirm whether any programs offer Yellow Ribbon matching.
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 Western Technical College.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $1,896/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $15,168 |
The MHA helps cover the cost of living while enrolled. Your actual MHA depends on your rate of pursuit and the school’s location.
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 Western Technical College run about $94, so the stipend covers them in full.
