Inside This Veterans Report on Emerson:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 153 GI Bill® students at Emerson. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,145, approximately 3.7% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
