Inside This Veterans Report on LSU Health - New Orleans:
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 64 GI Bill® students at LSU Health - New Orleans. With a total enrollment of 843, nearly 7.6% of 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.
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).
