Info in This Veterans Report on Alabama State:
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 372 GI Bill® students at Alabama State. Because the school enrolls 3,322, roughly 11.2% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
