A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 713 GI Bill® students at Cal Baptist. Since the total enrollment at the school is 7,914, around 9.0% of the student body is 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.
