What’s Covered in Our Report on NMSU Main Campus:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 788 GI Bill® students at NMSU Main Campus. With a total enrollment of 11,561, approximately 6.8% of the student body is 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. About 0.4% of the student body at NMSU Main Campus, based on College Scorecard data.
