When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. The VA reports that there are 231 GI Bill® students at Nicholls State University. As the school’s total enrollment is 4,772, about 4.8% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
