Our Veterans Report on LA Film School:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 1,039 GI Bill® students at LA Film School. Since the total enrollment at the school is 5,833, approximately 17.8% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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. Veterans make up 2.7% of the student body at LA Film School, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
