Our Veterans Report on Maria College of Albany:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 19 GI Bill® students at Maria College of Albany. Since the total enrollment at the school is 702, around 2.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
