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 17 GI Bill® students at Oglala Lakota College. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,156, around 1.5% 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
