Inside This Veterans Report on Loyola Maryland:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 115 GI Bill® students at Loyola Maryland. Because the school enrolls 3,975, roughly 2.9% of those enrolled 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.
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). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
