What’s Covered in Our Report on Fayetteville State University:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 1,565 GI Bill® students at Fayetteville State University. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,493, approximately 28.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 0.8% of those enrolled at Fayetteville State University, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
