Info in This Veterans Report on Concord University:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 80 GI Bill® students at Concord University. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,394, approximately 5.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
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.
