Info in This Veterans Report on Bethel:
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 150 GI Bill® students at Bethel. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,671, approximately 9.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, 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. About 0.7% of those enrolled at Bethel, based on College Scorecard data.
