What’s Covered in Our Report on Centre College of Kentucky:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 21 GI Bill® students at Centre College of Kentucky. Because the school enrolls 1,346, approximately 1.6% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
