What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on MCNY:
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 48 GI Bill® students at MCNY. As the school’s total enrollment is 430, approximately 11.2% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
