Our Veterans Report on Florida Memorial University:
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 53 GI Bill® students at Florida Memorial University. Because the school enrolls 1,299, nearly 4.1% of the 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
