What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on ESU:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 122 GI Bill® students at ESU. Given that enrollment at the school is 2,328, roughly 5.2% of the student body is 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
