What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Bellarmine U:
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 106 GI Bill® students at Bellarmine U. Because the school enrolls 2,286, approximately 4.6% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.
