What’s Covered in Our Report on North Park:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 34 GI Bill® students at North Park. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,844, about 1.8% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
