Other Funds Available to Help Pay for School
In addition to paying for your education, the Department of Defense offers a “Yellow Ribbon Program” that helps cover the cost of tuition for dependents of military personnel. Unfortunately, the BAH calculator is unavailable for that program, but you can view a list of schools that participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
Online GI Bill Monthly Housing Allowance
The online GI Bill Monthly Housing Allowance is $1,177.50 for the 2024-2025 school year.
This amount is equal to half the national average for active duty BAH for an E-5 with dependents. VA.gov reminds, “If you take at least one class in person while taking other online learning classes” you may qualify for additional BAH.

- Dependency status – with or without dependents
The compensation is affected by the cost of housing (ownership and rental) in local markets within the US.
