Our Veterans Report on AAMU:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. According to the VA, there are 596 GI Bill® students at AAMU. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,726, about 10.4% of those enrolled 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 0.3% of those enrolled at AAMU, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
