As the school’s total enrollment is 835, approximately 2.2% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
