Our Veterans Report on Arcadia:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 89 GI Bill® students at Arcadia. With a total enrollment of 1,799, nearly 4.9% 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
