Our Veterans Report on Hofstra:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 166 GI Bill® students at Hofstra. Because the school enrolls 6,155, around 2.7% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
