What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on PMI Houston:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 126 GI Bill® students at PMI Houston. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,019, around 12.4% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 0.9% of all students at PMI Houston, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
