Info in This Veterans Report on Arizona College of Nursing-Tampa:
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 44 GI Bill® students at Arizona College of Nursing-Tampa. Because the school enrolls 337, approximately 13.1% 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.
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 0.7% of those enrolled at Arizona College of Nursing-Tampa, per U.S. Department of Education data.
