Our Veterans Report on College of Athens:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 2 GI Bill® students at College of Athens. With a total enrollment of 70, around 2.9% 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.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
