What’s Covered in Our Report on Morrisville State College:
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 57 GI Bill® students at Morrisville State College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,860, nearly 3.1% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
