What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Dixie State College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 323 GI Bill® students at Dixie State College. Because the school enrolls 8,320, approximately 3.9% of the student body is 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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. Veterans make up 0.5% of the student body at Dixie State College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
