Monthly Housing Allowance
You may qualify for financial assistance to offset your housing expenses while pursuing your studies.
If you are eligible for a Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA), we will disburse this allowance at the end of each month.
The MHA is calculated as a percentage of the full monthly housing allowance and is prorated based on the number of credits you are taking or the number of clock hours you are scheduled to attend each week.
Please note: If you are enrolled in correspondence training or flight training, you are not eligible for MHA.
For students attending in-person courses within the United States:
We calculate your MHA based on the monthly military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) rates for an E-5 with dependents. This is referred to as the resident MHA. We utilize the 2023 rates to determine the MHA you will receive from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024.
To ascertain the amount you may be eligible to receive for housing, you can use the Defense Department (DOD) lookup tool available on the Defense Travel Management Office website. To begin, you will need the zip code for your school.
