Info in This Veterans Report on NYU:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 32 GI Bill® students at NYU. With a total enrollment of 29,430, around 10.9% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. About 0.2% of those enrolled at NYU, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
