\t<\/i><\/i>\t\tWhat Does the Post 9\/11 GI Bill Cover? Do I Need To Make Payments For My Tuition To MCC?\t<\/a>\t<\/div>\t
\t\t
\t\t
\r\n\r\nThe Post 9\/11 GI Bill includes payment for your tuition and fees directly to MCC, a Monthly Housing Allowance, and an annual book\/supplies stipend (both stipends paid directly to you). In order to determine how much of these benefits you are eligible for, you will want to find out what percentage of eligibility you have (for example: an individual with at least 36 months of active duty after 9\/11\/01 will be eligible for 100%, an individual with 90 days to 6 months of active duty would be eligible for 40% of the benefit), Finally, the selection of online\/distance education courses can effect your eligibility for the Housing Allowance, specifically. You should determine whether or not online courses are right for you. In order to receive the Housing Allowance, you must be enrolled at a \u201crate of pursuit\u201d of 51% or more, and in at least 1 \u201cin residence\u201d (in classroom) course.\r\n\r\nIf you are eligible for 100% of the benefit, and a full-time student, for example, 100% of your tuition and fees will be paid to Middlesex. Additionally, you will receive 100% of the Monthly Housing Allowance and 100% of the $1,000 annual book stipend (paid per credit, per term, up to $1,000 annually).\r\n\r\n<\/div>\t\t<\/div>\t<\/div><\/div>
