What’s Covered in Our Report on IU East:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 120 GI Bill® students at IU East. With a total enrollment of 2,446, about 4.9% of the student body is 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.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
