What’s Covered in Our Report on A-State:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 688 GI Bill® students at A-State. As the school’s total enrollment is 7,994, about 8.6% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
