Info in This Veterans Report on Briar Cliff:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 18 GI Bill® students at Briar Cliff. Given that enrollment at the school is 626, nearly 2.9% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students 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). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
