Our Veterans Report on Cornerstone:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 46 GI Bill® students at Cornerstone. Because the school enrolls 1,387, around 3.3% of students 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
