Our Veterans Report on Marquette:
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 170 GI Bill® students at Marquette. As the school’s total enrollment is 7,238, approximately 2.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
