by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. So we’ve gathered facts about Manchester Community College veterans so you can make an informed choice.

What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on MCC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 96 GI Bill® students at MCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,610, around 6.0% of students are 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.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veteran students account for 1.3% of the student body at MCC, based on College Scorecard data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
