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 McPherson College veteran students to help you make your college decision.

What’s Covered in Our Report on McPherson College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Per VA data, there are 42 GI Bill® students at McPherson College. Given that enrollment at the school is 786, around 5.3% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.
