Our Veterans Report on Augsburg:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 62 GI Bill® students at Augsburg. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,429, roughly 2.6% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
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. Veterans make up 0.9% of those enrolled at Augsburg, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
