by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Niagara University veteran services to guide your decision.

What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Niagara:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 86 GI Bill® students at Niagara. Because the school enrolls 2,713, around 3.2% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
