Inside This Veterans Report on Dillard University:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 52 GI Bill® students at Dillard University. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,111, roughly 4.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per 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. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
