Our Veterans Report on MSU Texas:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 399 GI Bill® students at MSU Texas. As the school’s total enrollment is 4,043, roughly 9.9% 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. About 0.5% of all students at MSU Texas, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
