Our Veterans Report on NNU:
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 90 GI Bill® students at NNU. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,138, around 7.9% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide 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 military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
