What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Assumption:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 33 GI Bill® students at Assumption. With a total enrollment of 1,664, about 2.0% of those enrolled 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.
