What’s Covered in Our Report on Penn College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 281 GI Bill® students at Penn College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,254, about 6.6% 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. Veteran students account for 0.6% of those enrolled at Penn College, based on College Scorecard data.
