Inside This Veterans Report on Augustana Sioux Falls:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 66 GI Bill® students at Augustana Sioux Falls. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,818, approximately 3.6% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
