As an eligible veteran or member of the National Guard or Selected Reserve you may receive a monthly housing allowance\u00a0(living stipend) based on the ZIP code of the locations of the school you are attending \u2013 not your home ZIP code. This stipend currently averages $1,368 a month, but can exceed $2,700 depending on where you go to school.<\/p>\n

This stipend is based on the DoD\u2019s\u00a0Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for an E-5 with dependents. This stipend does not require students to live on campus.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong>\u00a0Service members currently on active duty and veterans (and eligible family members) and those taking courses on a half-time basis do not qualify for the monthly housing stipend.<\/p>\n

Students taking 100% of their courses online\u00a0are eligible for a monthly stipend equal to half of the national average stipend, which is $714.50 for 2013.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/div>\n

\"PostPost 9\/11 GI Bill<\/h3>\n

The Post-9\/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) is the most frequently used VA education benefit. It provides up to 36 months of benefits to help pay for school or job training for Veterans, Service members, survivors and dependents.<\/p>\n

Your Post-9\/11 GI Bill benefits may include financial support for school tuition, fees, books, supplies, and housing. You may also receive reimbursement for license or certification tests, national exams or assistance for apprenticeships or on-the-job-training.<\/p>\n

A one-time benefit to help you relocate from certain rural areas to attend school is also available. Based on length of active service, you are entitled to a percentage of each type of benefit, up to 100% of the maximum benefit.<\/p>\n
