What’s Covered in Our Report on Butler:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 108 GI Bill® students at Butler. Because the school enrolls 4,383, nearly 2.5% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
