Our Veterans Report on Meredith:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. VA figures show 71 GI Bill® students at Meredith. With a total enrollment of 1,288, around 5.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
