Info in This Veterans Report on Mercy:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 43 GI Bill® students at Mercy. With a total enrollment of 5,539, around 77.6% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 0.6% of the student body at Mercy, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
