What’s Covered in Our Report on Bucknell:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 33 GI Bill® students at Bucknell. Since the total enrollment at the school is 3,818, roughly 86.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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.
