by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. So we’ve gathered facts about Delaware State University veterans so you can make an informed choice.
If you’re looking for information related to military tuition assistance such as the GI Bill® or Yellow Ribbon Program, go to the following page: Delaware State University GI Bill® Information
What’s Covered in Our Report on Del State:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. Per VA data, there are 235 GI Bill® students at Del State. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,630, approximately 5.1% of the 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). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
