How Many Veterans Go to UAGC?
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 3,735 G.I. Bill® students at UAGC. There are 31,115 students enrolled at UAGC. This means that approximately 12.00% use the GI Bill® to help pay for tuition, fees, and other expenses. Putting that into perspective, the Student Veterans of America estimates that about three-four percent of all college students in America are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, e.g. Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill and Reserve Education Assistance Program. It also includes Veteran Readiness and Employment. This does not include active-duty military personnel who are attending the college via Tuition Assistance. Therefore, the potential total military population could be larger than this.
