Our Veterans Report on Middle Tennessee State University:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 1,265 GI Bill® students at Middle Tennessee State University. Given that enrollment at the school is 16,115, nearly 7.8% 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.
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. Veteran students account for 0.4% of those enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
