Info in This Veterans Report on Lander University:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 324 GI Bill® students at Lander University. Given that enrollment at the school is 3,384, about 9.6% of the 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
