Info in This Veterans Report on Macalester:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 17 GI Bill® students at Macalester. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,131, around 79.8% of students 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
