Our Veterans Report on AMU:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 52 GI Bill® students at AMU. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,229, nearly 4.2% of 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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
