What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Methodist:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 456 GI Bill® students at Methodist. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,425, roughly 32.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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.
