What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Belmont College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 23 GI Bill® students at Belmont College. Because the school enrolls 484, roughly 4.8% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
