Inside This Veterans Report on MVCC:
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 105 GI Bill® students at MVCC. With a total enrollment of 7,417, approximately 1.4% of the student body is 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. Veterans make up 0.8% of all students at MVCC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer-out rate | 53.8% | — |
Rates are reported via the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
