What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Mercy College:
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 14 GI Bill® students at Mercy College. As the school’s total enrollment is 982, nearly 1.4% of those enrolled 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.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
