Inside This Veterans Report on Blackburn:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. VA figures show 11 GI Bill® students at Blackburn. With a total enrollment of 341, approximately 3.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
