by our College Data Analytics TeamHow much of the cost at Western Theological Seminary will the G.I. Bill® cover? Coverage is not unlimited and varies school to school, so the fine print is worth checking.
Federal data does not indicate that Western Theological Seminary currently participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Check directly with the school, since participation can change year to year.
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 Western Theological Seminary.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Estimated living expenses (room & board, academic year) | $4,830 |
| Post-9/11 monthly housing allowance (MHA) | $2,130/mo |
| Housing benefit (academic year, ~8 months) | $17,040 |
| Estimated surplus in your pocket | $12,210 |
At this school the academic-year housing benefit exceeds typical living costs, so most full-time students come out ahead. MHA amounts reflect the local housing rate for the school’s area.
Beyond the coverage math above, this is how much veteran education-benefit money actually flows to Western Theological Seminary.
Roughly 3 Post-9/11 recipients used tuition benefits worth $11,564.
| Benefit | Recipients | Total disbursed | Average / recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| GI Bill® (all students) | 5 | $21,781 | $4,356 |
| GI Bill® — graduate | 5 | $21,781 | — |
