Inside This Veterans Report on Missouri Southern:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 163 GI Bill® students at Missouri Southern. As the school’s total enrollment is 3,101, around 5.3% 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
