by our College Data Analytics TeamIf you're a veteran who is thinking about going back to school, it's important to see how well the school treats its students with prior military service first. That's why we've put together this report that gives you the facts about Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts veteran students. If you're looking for information related to military tuition assistance such as the GI Bill® or Yellow Ribbon Program, go to the following page: Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts GI Bill® Information
Our Veterans Report on PAFA Includes:
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts was not included in this year's [Best Schools for Veterans ranking[(/rankings/veterans). This usually means that not enough data related to veterans was available.
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.
The VA reports that there are 4 GI Bill® students at PAFA. There are 188 students enrolled at PAFA. This means that approximately 2.13% use the GI Bill® to help pay for tuition, fees, and other expenses. For context, let's take this into consideration. According to the Student Veterans of America, approximately three to four per cent of American college students are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, e.g. Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill® and Reserve Education Assistance Program. It also includes Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel that are attending this college via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger than this.
Unfortunately, PAFA does not offer credit for military training.
Our data shows that this school has not received any complaints at the VA.
