Info in This Veterans Report on Franklin and Marshall:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 11 GI Bill® students at Franklin and Marshall. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,904, nearly 57.8% 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.
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. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
