What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on AIU Online:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Based on VA records, there are 564 GI Bill® students at AIU Online. As the school’s total enrollment is 6,734, approximately 8.4% of the student body is 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. About 2.8% of the student body at AIU Online, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
