Info in This Veterans Report on Mid-America College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 22 GI Bill® students at Mid-America College. As the school’s total enrollment is 337, around 6.5% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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 service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
