Our Veterans Report on Delta State University:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 114 GI Bill® students at Delta State University. With a total enrollment of 1,613, roughly 7.1% of those enrolled 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
