What’s Covered in Our Report on OPSU:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 33 GI Bill® students at OPSU. Since the total enrollment at the school is 997, roughly 3.3% of those enrolled are 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
