Info in This Veterans Report on Cowley College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Per VA data, there are 51 GI Bill® students at Cowley College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,548, about 3.3% 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.
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. Veteran students account for 1.0% of all students at Cowley College, based on College Scorecard data.
