Inside This Veterans Report on Creighton:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 15 GI Bill® students at Creighton. With a total enrollment of 4,231, nearly 35.5% of the students are 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. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
