What’s Covered in Our Report on Boricua College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 5 GI Bill® students at Boricua College. As the school’s total enrollment is 401, nearly 1.2% of the students are 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 1.6% of those enrolled at Boricua College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
