What’s Covered in Our Report on BFIT:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 13 GI Bill® students at BFIT. Given that enrollment at the school is 412, approximately 3.2% of those enrolled 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
