Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 49 GI Bill® students at Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania. Because the school enrolls 9,309, roughly 52.6% 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.
