What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Lafayette:
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 24 GI Bill® students at Lafayette. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,746, around 87.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
