Info in This Veterans Report on Meridian College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 7 GI Bill® students at Meridian College. Because the school enrolls 144, around 4.9% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide 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). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.

Beyond military training, ask Meridian College whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
