What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on PMI East Valley:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 28 GI Bill® students at PMI East Valley. As the school’s total enrollment is 373, roughly 7.5% of those enrolled 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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 0.9% of those enrolled at PMI East Valley, per U.S. Department of Education data.
