Inside This Veterans Report on EOU:
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 180 GI Bill® students at EOU. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,201, around 8.2% of 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veterans make up 0.7% of all students at EOU, per U.S. Department of Education data.
