Info in This Veterans Report on McNeese:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 202 GI Bill® students at McNeese. As the school’s total enrollment is 4,846, around 4.2% of the student body is 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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
