What’s Covered in Our Report on K -State:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 1,271 GI Bill® students at K -State. Because the school enrolls 14,835, nearly 8.6% of students 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.
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. Veteran students account for 0.5% of all students at K -State, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
