A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 1,072 GI Bill® students at Laurus College. As the school’s total enrollment is 794, about 135.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.
