Our Veterans Report on MMC Wilmington:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. Per VA data, there are 7 GI Bill® students at MMC Wilmington. Since the total enrollment at the school is 152, approximately 4.6% of the students are 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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 2.2% of all students at MMC Wilmington, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
