Our Veterans Report on SUNY Adirondack:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 70 GI Bill® students at SUNY Adirondack. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,959, about 3.6% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. About 0.6% of those enrolled at SUNY Adirondack, based on College Scorecard data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.

|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 16.1% | 27.5% |
