Inside This Veterans Report on Linfield:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 41 GI Bill® students at Linfield. Because the school enrolls 1,642, roughly 2.5% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
