by our College Data Analytics TeamWondering what the G.I. Bill® actually covers at Mitchell Hamline? The answer depends on the school — benefits are capped and the details vary, so it pays to do your research.
Mitchell Hamline School of Law participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, which can cover tuition and fees beyond the Post-9/11 GI Bill® cap through matching funds from the school and the VA. About 19 Yellow Ribbon recipients were reported at this school.
The exact number of seats and the maximum contribution vary by degree level and program, so confirm the current limits with the schools veteran services office.
The Post-9/11 GI Bill® also covers housing through a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA). Below, the academic-year housing benefit is set against the estimated living costs at Mitchell Hamline.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
