Our Veterans Report on Jackson College:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Per VA data, there are 97 GI Bill® students at Jackson College. With a total enrollment of 3,563, about 2.7% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 1.5% of all students at Jackson College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
