What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on CSE:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 19 GI Bill® students at CSE. Given that enrollment at the school is 636, approximately 3.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
