Our Veterans Report on Morton College:
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. According to the VA, there are 34 GI Bill® students at Morton College. With a total enrollment of 2,593, around 1.3% of students are 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.
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). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 0.7% of the student body at Morton College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
