What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on ASU-Beebe:
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. According to the VA, there are 228 GI Bill® students at ASU-Beebe. Because the school enrolls 1,902, nearly 12.0% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
