What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Florida Poly:
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 90 GI Bill® students at Florida Poly. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,556, about 5.8% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
