Info in This Veterans Report on Mount Mercy:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 31 GI Bill® students at Mount Mercy. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,135, roughly 2.7% of the students are 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
