What’s Covered in Our Report on Conn College:
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 10 GI Bill® students at Conn College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,960, roughly 51.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
