What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Mount Saint Vincent:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 31 GI Bill® students at Mount Saint Vincent. Given that enrollment at the school is 2,373, approximately 1.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
