by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. We’ve assembled this report on Holy Family University veterans so you can make an informed choice.

Inside This Veterans Report on Holy Family:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 62 GI Bill® students at Holy Family. With a total enrollment of 2,298, nearly 2.7% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
